When You Wake Up Tomorrow

When you wake up tomorrow
if I am not around, will you miss me?
If you never see me again
how much of a void will I leave in our heart?
Will you know how much I loved you?
will you truly know how much I cared?
nothing in this world mattered to me
more than being my best for you
I loved you with a pure love
that sprang up from a flawed heart
from within a flawed man
but my love for you was never flawed
But now this great gulf divides us
and it keeps getting wider
will I ever be able to reach you
to tell you one more time
that I truly love you
that I truly care
How I wish I could turn back time
if only I could start again
if only I could go back to the start
I would make it count
But what’s the point in worrying
about what can’t be changed?
I’ve already lived my life
If you could call it ‘living’

Now the only thing l can do
is to offer you the only gift I can
and that is my absence
hope it will bring you joy
