Notes About The Poem

You have to write what you feel, even when it's tough

You Know I Loved You

Said I was stayin’ home today?
That used to mean lovin’ play?
But your look told me... you’re confused 

Then I went and said the words?
Shock was followed by the hurt?
Love doesn’t mean we always get to choose 

You know I loved you... please hear me 
You know I loved you... and I still care 
You know I loved you... forgive me?
But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there 

We’ve both grown our separate ways 
It happens a lot these days?
Tryin’ to heal scars with drink 

I hope someday we can be friends?
Once we get past the might have beens?
You can bet on love, but it’s never a sure thing 

You know I loved you... please hear me 
You know I loved you... and I still care 
You know I loved you... forgive me?
But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there 

There’s nothing you did, there’s nothing to change 
Sometimes love just slips away... 

You know I loved you... please hear me 
You know I loved you... and I still care 
You know I loved you... forgive me?
But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there
