Can't You See Me?

Can't you see me?
Can't you see me in the dark?
Can't you see my world is drifting apart?
Can't you see time just splitting me apart?
Can't you see me?

Did you see me?
Did you wish you saw me?
Did you wish you'd spoken to me?
Or did you wish we'd never met,
So you wouldn't know I'm fading?

Can you hear me?
Can hear me when I speak?
Do you hear me yet not listen?
Am I just noise on the auditory canvas?
My words just forgotten compositions.

Would you offer me your time,
If you knew most of mine had expired?
Would you offer me your hand,
If you knew mine was soon to be decayed?
Would you offer me your heart,
If you knew mine was soon to halt?
Would you offer me your arms,
If you knew my body's close to cold?

Can you spare a thought?
Can you tell me how you feel?
Can you tell me if I made you feel anything?
Or am I only worth a passing glance?
My words hold no worth to you?

Did you know me for a day?
Or did you know me for a year?
Did you truly know my ways?
Or just what you wanted to hear?
Did you know me?

Can you feel me?
Can you feel anything from me?
Did I make you feel important, special, loved?
Did I make you feel anything at all?
Or did I mean nothing to you?

Would you offer me your time,
When I'm in my final hours?
Would you offer me your hand,
Though I may have never offered mine?
Would you offer me your heart
So I can know that someone loves me?
Would you offer me your arms
So I can know I'm not alone?

So can't you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Can you feel me?
Can you tell me?
Cuz I can see you
I can hear you
I can feel you
And I can tell you

I'm grateful for your part of my world
No matter how large
No matter how small
I'm grateful to all I've known
All who've contributed positively to the character I played in life
I figured I'd tell you now while I still can
You were the best of friends for this old man

And to you who reads the words of a ghost
I hope above all, I hope it the most
That these words meant something important to you
And you'll tell everyone how you feel before you are gone too
