RE: 8 Minutes

Hey, can you hear me?
No, of course not anymore
But I tried, I swear I tried
But you didn't hear me
You never had time for me

I wanted you to notice
What I couldn't say
I didn't need much, just someone to say: Hey, I'm here

And now I stood there, alone
Not knowing if I still existed
I only needed eight minutes
To say that I wanted to stay
Now you say that you miss me
It was only 8 minutes

I can't hug you anymore
And I kept inside me the screams I never gave
Do you remember the last time you saw me?
I smiled, did you see what was behind it?
Did you notice the weight on my shoulders?
Or did you just think it was another normal day?

If you had asked?
If I had stayed just a little longer
Would I still be here?
Or would I still be there?

I only need eight minutes
But no one noticed
Now I'm an echo lost in time
A conversation that never happened
