The Notes Under My Bed

The notes under my bed

speak of a love that could have been.

We were so young and carefree,

and we still had time to dream.

The notes tell of an era

where we held hands and talked

straight through the night.

If you would read the notes,

you can see where we could have gone

if only our hold on each other

would have been more tight.

But the notes would also tell you

that holding on tight is something that is hard to do

when the other person doesn't trust you.

The notes say what we think;

The notes show what we feel. 

Even though the love didn't last,

the notes show that it was there,

and that it was real.

We may not have ended up

where we would have liked, but

it was great when the time was right.

There are only traces left, 

and they will vanish in time, 

but there will always be proof

because the notes under my bed

speak of the love that could have been.
