Years ago I gave you my heart
A silver locket for my favorite aunt
Three little words engraved on each side
Told you just how much I cared for you

As I grew up we drifted apart
I moved to other places other hearts
And then it came sent back to me
The locket a forgotten memory

Three little words I don't use much anymore
Age pushes feelings aside
Set in my ways not as trusting as before
I don't need to share what's inside no

Now you are old and so far away
I heard last night your husband passed away
Not much I can do to help ease your pain
Only this old locket still remains for you
