I Waited Too Long - CAELIS Babylon
We grew up on school mornings
and late calls
cheap diner coffee
when the day went wrong
I carried my guitar
you leaned back and breathed
I held back the truth
every time you said my name
I told myself silence
kept us safe
but it was just fear
sitting in my throat
I waited too long
to say I love you
now I'm holding roses
in a hospital hall
you promised me forever
with your last breath
and I can't forgive this quiet at all
You said let's go to the park
like old times
so I buttoned my best shirt
and shaking red roses
heavy in my arm
guitar on my back
I practiced your favorite song
till my fingers ached
halfway there my phone split the evening wide
A stranger said your name
an accident in one line
I waited too long
to say I love you
now I'm holding roses
in a hospital hall
you promised me forever
with your last breath
and I can't forgive this quiet at all
The door swung shut
the beeping changed its shape
petals fell like seconds I can't get back
I leaned to your ear
and finally told the truth
but the room stayed still
and you didn't answer
I waited too long
to say I love you
now the roses dry on my kitchen table
you said if I survive
I'll be your wife
and I'm still here
and you're not able
I sit alone at the park under weak lamplight
and hear you say my wife
as the night goes quiet
