Tonight

Tonight while cleaning the house,
I stumbled upon an old note
The paper now had faded
I squinted at words you wrote

I wondered about that letter
How long ago it was sent
You scribbled, "I still love you"
I wondered what that meant?

Had we fought the night before
Did you think you'd lost my heart>
Had I ever said I'm sorry?
Insecurity tore me apart.

Tonight I cried myself to sleep
I cried these words out loud
"Did I ever say how much you mean?"
"Did I say you've made me proud?"

"Did I tell you that I'm sorry?"
My words were choked through tears
"I love you so much - so very much
Sometimes I think you're still here!"

I woke up hours later,
To turn off the t.v. show
And lo and behold, the reverse of the note
Now had words that read... "I know"
