I played it off like it was the right decision.
I knew it was what you wanted, I was holding you back.
You were the girl of my dreams, and I let you slip through my fingers.
But it won’t be permanent, cause I know I can get you back.

If you love something, let it go, so I did.
I knew in my heart, we were made for each other.
And when the time was right, we’d be back together.

A year has past now, and we haven’t kept much in touch.
I don’t know what you’ve done or if you care for me much.
But I thought I’d give you a call, cause I still need you.
Friends? Lovers? I don’t know but I need a part of you in me.

Your mom answered the phone and we caught up on the past.
I’ve always liked her and she told me about how you were.
She told me about how many times you used her shoulder for me.
Time and time again for the rough times we went through.

Some bad things I’ve done, some bad you’ve done.
But to this day, I’m still on your mind.
You talk about me to your mom nearly everyday still.
God, how that made me glow inside,
I’ve wanted to hear that for almost a year now.

I thought of asking for your new number,
But I asked for your address instead.
I didn’t know how or why, but I thought I’d give it a shot.
I asked your mom to keep it a secret,
Cause it was gonna be a surprise.

Thoughts rushed through my head as I cruised to your house.
My mind was wandering back and forth.
What would you think?
I knew you’d be happy to see me, right?
I’d run up to you and hold you in my arms and swear to never let you go again.

But apparently God had different plans for me.
Across the yellow line came the semi into my lane.
As my mind was drifting, thinking of you,
The 18-wheeler crushed my U-haul into the rail.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t have swerved, it was a corner.
I didn’t realize I couldn’t open my eyes,
my arms were limp, my breath was short.
Where was I? A few seconds were all it took to understand.
At least my last thoughts were the best I ever had.
