to never get to feel the warmth
of your arms wrapped around me tight
to never get to watch you
as you fall asleep at night

to never get to hear the words
that your silence screams
to never get to be the one
who lives inside your dreams

to never have the chance
to just sit and talk with you
to never get the time
to give our hearts their due

to never get to tell you
just how much i care
to never have the feeling of
simply knowing that you're there

to never get to kiss you
until our lips can kiss no more
to never get to say good-bye
as you walk out the door

to never know the love of you
and all that you possess
to never shiver head to toe
from your soft caress

to never have you as my girl
and I, never to be that guy
to never have to miss you
so bad it makes me cry

to never have to hide away
where no one else can see
to never have to deal with knowing
you and i can't be

to never say good-bye to you
i fear i cant let go
to never see your face again
for then i'd never know
