Note on the Pillow

As I go home today there was a feeling inside of discontent
I can't say what about but it scared me
As I walked in the door I felt nobody was home
I went to the bedroom and there it was
The letter you wrote to me
You wrote on the outside "I love you just because"

I was not sure what was inside, as I started to read it, well…
I could almost picture the tears in your eyes

I never knew how much it hurt you
The times I didn't say I love you
Now my heart is feeling your pain
The next line read" Baby, I'm sorry you must see were through"

The lines on the paper faded in places
I could see where every tear broke its fall
As you wrote of the hurt I brought to you
The times you think I didn't care at all

You told me of the things you took with you
Even some of the things you left for me
But no where in the note did you write
What you did with your love for me

I broke down and started to cry
My tears now are built up inside
And as I lay here on our bed
The question I ask is please tell me why

I wish I could say I am sorry
I'm not sure what I really want to say
All that I know is you're gone for good
You wrote "I'm going my own way"

As I read the last few lines
I felt weaker than ever before
Seeing now what I threw away
It's to late, but I still love you even more
