You’re going to love me when it’s too late
To: Someone I Love
I asked for hugs each time I saw you
Yet you said that was asking for too much
I wanted to kiss your lips daily
Even though to me daily wasn’t enough
I wanted to hear your voice often
Yet you would always say
“Not today, I’m busy”
“Perhaps another day”
I wanted to lay on your chest
Just to hear how your heart beats
I wanted to make you smile
Even if you weren’t near me
I asked for you to send me pictures
Each time you went away
I always tried to encourage you
Because I truly believe in better days
In each second that my heart beat
A piece of it would beat for you
For I cared about your life
I wanted all of your dreams to come true
But in my clouds of worry
I sometimes forgot to worry about one thing
I forgot to take care of the person who’s caring
The person that is me
And now the tables have turned
And the past you seem to have forgot
For you hug me each time you see me
And your kisses do not stop
You call me constantly daily
Just to sometimes hear me breathe
But when my love was overflowing
You were nowhere to be seen
You’re going to love me when it’s too late
I can see it in your eyes
Your heart grows more and more daily
While my heart crumbles and dies
Each breathe takes me closer
To a place you don’t want me to go
You lay by my chest to hear my heartbeat
For you know that soon it will be no more
——
Now just imagine if I held this letter
Until I knew it was the last of my days
Imagine if I kept these words inside
And never said a thing
You see life is short yet beautiful
You have to appreciate everything
And despite the lack of “I love you” you say
I will always say it abundantly
You’re going to love me when it’s too late
That can be a possibility
But I’m giving you this letter today
So I can open your eyes so you can see
Love the ones who love you daily
Don’t forget to make some time
Speak freely what is in your heart
Love people while they are alive
For if you forget about others
These words will ring so true
You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
And finally love me when it’s too late too
