I've got like one thousand and three things
to say to you
things I never thought to say
things I never dared to say
things I thought were too obvious
or hoped were
things like 'I really like your earrings,
even if Hal gave them to you'
or 'I wanted to get you flowers
on our four-month anniversary,
but my paycheck was a week off
- and anyway, I forgot.'
I want to tell you so much about
how I wish things came down differently
wish I could have shown you the right way
what you meant, what you signified,
when the time was right
when it mattered most,
when you would have listened.
There are like a thousand and three things
I should have said
would have liked to have said
wish I had said to you
if you were only here to hear.
