What could've been if I'd said those words?
What could've been if it wasn't for her?
I held it back, that simple phrase,
But showed it through actions in so many ways.
My silence cost a world, or two.
What could've been if only you knew?
It's just three words, so hard to say.
My love for you begins to fray.
I traced your name on the window glass,
And looked for you during class.
On 11:11, I wished for you.
Every day I wished, but it never came true.
The memories we made will live in my head,
Along with the letters I kept under my bed.
When I saw you again, my heart lost its pace,
But you looked right through me like I'd been erased.
