Maybe...

Baby, I love you...
Those were the words I thought I said.
Maybe... I never said them, but I thought them inside my head.
I love you, even though I never showed it in the things I would do.  
Maybe... I never showed it because I assumed you always knew.
I know now that I should have shown my love every single day.
Maybe... if I did,  you would have never gone away.
I left you alone with evicted feelings and never offered you my hand.
I never considered your feelings or that our love would ever end.
Love is a reciprocal thing that takes two lovers to make it work.
Maybe...if I had shown more love you would've known what yours was worth.
