She wrote her love a letter
One he never read
To make her heart feel better
Keep from crying in her bed

But he never saw the letter
The secrets in her head
But indeed she wrote that letter
And this is what it said

"This may come as a shock to you
What I'm about to say
Because I know you never knew
The way I feel today

My heart's already missing you
And you're not even gone
And when in time, you finally do,
I'll see you not for very long

I cry, and yet make not a sound
My heart is torn inside
Where fear and sadness are abound
When will this pain subside?

I long to simply tell you now
The way my soul is aching
But can't, and now ask only, how
To keep my heart from breaking."

This is her precious letter
The one she never sent
He'll never know her any better
Or what she really meant

She loved him more than he can see
And so, he never knew
How grieved her heart has come to be
What now is she to do?

It's not too late, he's not gone yet
Just pass the letter to him
He's walking now, she moves, and yet
He's gone. She never knew him
