Ease of Life

It's never easy to tell someone
How sorry you really are,
If you never have.

It's never easy to tell someone
How wrong you were,
If you never did.

It's never easy to tell someone
How much you love them,
If you've never done so.

It's never easy to say goodbye
When it's been so long
Since you said hello.

It's never easy to say the things
Others really need to hear,
If we never hear them ourselves.
