The Memory of You

Haunted by what I didn't do
I was a fool and walked away from you
Never said what I should have said
I love you
I need you
I cant live without you

I've had a good life
But I have always felt
My life has been incomplete
I'm haunted by what could have been

Where are you now
Do you think of me
Did I hurt you
Do you hate me 

I'm haunted by words unsaid
I'm haunted for losing you

Truly the saddest thing I remember in life is not saying love words I should have. You are a true friend my life is better having met you.
