Letter Lost

 In careless hands, I lost the art

A birthday card that touched my heart

Your words and doodles, a memory I hold tight

A piece of you, that I'll keep in sight

I lost the birthday card you gave me, I’m sorry, I feel so bad

I said, "I failed to keep it safe," now it's just a memory we had

I didn’t want to start a drama, didn’t want to make you sad

But I couldn’t help but miss the card, it made me feel so glad

I remember the cute girl you drew, asking sorry for the mess, so sweet

I feel like I've let you down, lost something that was so complete

You reassured me, 'Man, it's okay! It's awesome that you kept it till now'

'Don't feel bad, dummy, it's the feelings that matter somehow'

Because this feeling, it never fades away

It's the love we share, that makes every single day

You pacified me, 'Dude, it's okay, I can make one on your next birthday'

A promise of forever, in the sweetest of ways

'So PLEASE. STOP. APOLOGISING! And let this worry slip away'

Your love, a shelter from the storm, where I can stay"

I asked, 'Do you remember the words, the things you wrote that day?'

Your eyes sparkled, as you tried to recall the way

You told me, 'I think I wrote happy birthday, and how you're important in every way'

A simple phrase, yet it spoke volumes, in a love-so-true kind of way

'And may God bless you for that day and the future ahead'

A blessing from the heart, a promise to be said

That's all you could remember, but it's still so sweetly said

A memory to treasure, a love that's forever fed

I can’t hold the ink, can’t feel the fold

But the warmth of your message never grows cold

I’m sorry I lost it, I wish I could explain

But your love’s still with me, through joy and through pain

"I’m happy to know how much you treasure it, my friend"

"It’s the love that counts, not the card in the end"

Your words, your comfort, show how much you care

Even though I lost it, I’ll cherish what we share

I understand how artists put their heart into their craft

Their effort and care , in every detail and draft

But now I’ve lost what you gave, and I feel so low

It’s a mistake, but it’s still hard to let go

I’m struggling to talk again, feeling unworthy of your love

Thinking maybe you’re not honest, hiding hurt from above

You play it cooler than I feel, with a smile and all your teeth

It makes me wonder if you’re masking pain or keeping it beneath

I remember the moment, how I held onto that card so tight

And though it’s gone, your words still bring me light

You expressed"i  wrote about how important you are to me"

And that’s what I hold onto, that’s what sets me free

Words are hard to infer, Stay with me forever,

I don’t want to lose you, I need you closer

Don’t feel hurt over the card, it wasn’t meant to be

I promise to protect and cherish you, just like you’re here for me

'Please don't make it a big deal, man, I'm always here for you, and that's part of my plan'

'Anytime and any day', you said it like you meant it, and I know

'Thanks for treasuring it,' with a smile that lights the way, and I love you so

So here’s my song, for what we’ve lost

But in our hearts, love’s never tossed

We’ll hold the memories, let them guide our way

In every note and word, our bond will forever stay
