"Words I Couldn't Say"

Elliot's POV

It was all over. Ale the time we spent together the jokes, all the memories. Cragen told me that you asked for a new partner. All the time I could have revealed how truly deep my love runs, I was too much of a coward to tell you how i felt.

In a book in a box in the closet,

In a line in a song I once heard.

In a moment on a front porch

Late one June

In a breath inside a whisper

Beneath the moon.

The times I should have told you, like after the divorce was final.

There it was at the tip of my fingers

There it was on the tip of my toung

There you were and I had never

Been that far

There it was the whole world

Wrapped inside my arms.

And I let it all slip away. You are my world, I don't know what to do without you next to me knowing that you back my actions 110.

What do I do Know that you're gone

Now back up plan, no second chance

And no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence

That remains

Are the words I couldn't say

Nothing I can do or say can fix this. Cragen can't fix it.

There's a rain that'll

Never stop fallin'

There's a wall that I've tried to

take down

What I should've said

Just wouldn't pass my lips

So I've held back and now we've

Come to this

And It's Too late now

He told me your decision was final. Now I'm sitting here wishing I could go back and tell you.

Are the words I couldn't say

I should've found a way

To tell you how I felt

Now the only one I'm tellin' was myself

It's too late to tell you now, so I guess I never will.
