Why Did I Wait So Long?

It took me a long time
To finally find the words
I've been wanting to say to you
But the sun can only be appreciated
By its absence, I hope you know what I mean

The sun gleams ahead
Yet the flowers are dead
Missed out on love again
Tried and I tried
But i was so blind, wish i had swallowed my pride

We were so young
And i was so reserved
Thought showing my feelings make you run
And now you've moved on
Without a word
Why did i wait so long?

A year swam away
And i drifted to dismay
Piece by piece id break
And i just wish you knew
The love i have for you
Why did i wait so long?

The sun gleams ahead
Yet the flowers are dead
Missed out on love again
Tried and I tried
But I was so blind, wish I had swallowed
My pride

Now i'm pushing ahead
Toward a prosperous chance
A chance - to avail a last
Life comes and goes
Let us not deter love
For love fulfills the soul

With you by my side
I could conquer and thrive
For you make me feel most alive
I thank you so much
For all i have learned
I'll do better my next run

The sun beams through you
And the world is anew
I cherish the times we shared
While we go separate ways
Your tattooed on my brain
I'll love you for the rest of my days

The sun beams through me
And the world is a dream
I've bloomed again at last
As i swallow my pride
I'm right on time
The wait was worth the prize
