I lost your necklace
the one you gave me
dropped into my palm
even before we were dating

I lost your necklace
somehow left it behind
on the hospital bed after
my E.R. visit late last night

I lost your necklace
it probably didn’t cost much
but to me, it meant the most,
‘cause when you’re not around,
it reminded me of your love

I lost your necklace
and only just now did I realize
that I lost your necklace
and since this discovery,
I’ve cried, and cried, and cried

I know I don’t need a necklace
to know that I am loved
but I wish that I still had it
because when I held it,
it’s only you
I’d think of
