In a way you would believe
That I was being truthful,
Not trying to deceive.
Perhaps you'll think I'm foolish.
Perhaps you'll think me trite.
But I need to use the proper words,
To make this sound just right.
I tried to give you all the best,
And show you what was good.
But your heart was in another world,
And you misunderstood.
You broke my heart the day you left,
As you closed the door behind,
Saying that I was so unfair,
Thinking me so unkind.
Now you're living on your own,
But something seems amiss,
Trying to act like nothing's wrong,
And that I don't exist.
So, I just wanted to say I miss you.
Just wanted to say I care.
But, most of all, I love you,
And I wish I could be there.
