It's been so long, since I've said your name,
but the tears they fall, just like they did that day.
I never got the courage, said what's on my mind,
cause I ran out of breath, and then you ran out of time.

And it's been so long, and I've lost so much,
and the time has come, for me to feel what I touch;
cause I've become so numb, trying to hide the pain,
and become so crazy, trying to fight the sane.

And it's been so long, and it'll take more time,
to confess the message, buried in the rhyme.
Try and wipe the tears, they only multiply,
and the more I smile, the more I want to cry.

But it's been so long, since I've felt so free,
it's like the death of you, let out the life in me.
It's not disrespectful, it's an ode to you;
gotta live like I'm dying, gotta push on through.

It's been so long, since I could let things go,
push away the grudges, and let the love show;
gotta smile too brightly, and laugh till I choke,
gotta dance when I'm walking, and buy till I'm broke.

And it's been so long, still haven't said goodbye
so I wrote you a poem, that I could shout to the sky
and in heaven they'll hear me, screaming out of the blue
the words of a dear friend, "I will always miss you."
