I was tired and you were beautiful
and I think you said
"I love you,"
but I stretched just then
and the verb slipped right on by me.

I'm still tired and you're still beautiful
and I'm sure you said
"I love you,"
but I stretched just then
and the chance slipped right on by me,

just like you.
Just like you.

Author's Note: Topic from Alaina Schneider. This is my first try at this type of thing. Feedback much appreciated.

Turned this into a song. Piano. Good stuff.
