There were so many things I never told you. br br br br I never got to say goodbye, br br Even though I knew you’d die. br br I never told you that all that I wanted to be, br br Was everything you were to me. br br I never told you not to be upset, br br When you thought you were ruining my life. br br I never told you I wouldn’t remember you the way, br br I saw you when you were in the hospital that day. br br I never told you how you meant more to me, br br Than schoolwork, my friends, and everything. br br I never told you how it upset me when you forgot my name, br br How life without you wouldn’t be the same. br br I never told you how much it meant to me, br br That you said you were proud of me. br br I never told you thank you for teaching me, br br That life was short, to treasure every memory. br br I never told you how much I’d miss sneaking you ice cream cones, br br And teaching you how to work your iPod, plugging in your headphones. br br I never told you how much I’d miss trying to beat you at 3: 13, br br Seeing you every day, and never winning the Tic-Tac game. br br I never told you how I want to be a nurse, br br That helping you was not a curse. br br I never told you how I came to love helping sick people, br br And how that’s what I want to do with life. br br br br I never got to say goodbye, br br Even though I knew you’d die, br br And how hard it was to watch Daddy cry, br br And not have your shoes to tie. br br I never told you all you taught me or how br br I will see you again in Heaven. br br I never told you so many, many things, br br But somehow Paps, br br I know you knew and one day I will tell you everything.
