Just One Word
</u>
If I could send you
Just one word,
I'd send the word
"Longing"

So you'd know how
Much I miss you
And how I
Think about you
Every day.

If I could send you
Just one word,
I'd send the word
"Silence"

So you'd know what
Our conversations are full of
Now that you're
No longer here
Anymore.

If I could send you
Just one word,
I'd send the word
"Lonely"

So you'd know how
I feel at night when
I realize you were my friend
And you left me
By myself.

If I could send you
Just one word,
I'd send the word
"Angry"

So you'd know what
I feel like when
I realize that I failed you
And let you leave
On your own.

If I could send you
Just one word,
I'd send the word
"Pain"

So you'd know what
I feel when I'm
At home
Alone
Crying

When I realize
I can't send you
A single word
Strong enough
To bring
You back.
