I never knew
I Never Knew
I know this is a common phrase by people like me
But
I never knew
You should have told me
You could have trusted me
You could have told anyone
But I guess if you couldn’t trust me than you couldn’t trust anyone
If you had just to told me I could have found help
I really could have
I don’t think I can live without you
I thought you’d be the one
But that night
That dreadful night
On January twenty-three 2014 you decided you had had enough
You took the permanent way out of the solution
I can’t have you back
I don’t know if I can live without you
You were the one I would have chosen
But you didn’t trust me enough
Why didn’t you wait one more day
One more day till I had gotten up the courage to ask
I could have saved you with four words
But I was too late
Will you marry me
That’s all I had to say
And if you had said yes
We could be together
I don’t think I can take it
This emptiness and sorrow
Greif
You were the only one I loved
The only one I could love
The only one I thought loved me
But I guess if you’re selfish enough to take your own life
Than I couldn’t have married you
And if you can’t be here and I can’t be with you
Oh I don’t know if I could do it
Well it’s the only way
Kate it’s the only way we can be together
I don’t want to do it
But I guess if you can be that selfish
Than I’ll have to be selfish to
Dear
Mom,
I can’t take it anymore
I can’t get her out of my head
And if I can’t be with her
The one I love
Than what’s the use of breathing
I want to be with Kate
And if she can be that selfish to make me do this
Than I guess I have to be just as selfish to do it to you
I love you mom
I really do
But I have to be with her
So I know I’m doing the meanest thing I have ever done to you
And I’m sorry
I really am
But when I’m gone
You can’t do what I did
Please don’t
Stay strong
I love you
Your loving son
James
