Wish things could have worked out for us
But it didn't and we said goodbye
Years later much to my surprise
I find myself still in love with you
Having burnt every letter every photograph
I remember very second I ever spent with you
I smile at our hesitant first kiss
And cry as your lips say goodbye
Numb was I for years
It's only now that the pain is coming through
The passage of years makes it so hard to believe
That my love for you still survives
I stay awake late into the night
Wondering where it all went wrong
I was so sure I could let you go
You could hurt me no more
Yet here I am hurting so bad tonight
Shocked am I that I can still love you
Memories just seem to be a beautiful dream
That has no place in reality
Life's moved on for both you and me
And I struggle everyday even today
Not to look back, look back for you
And the love we let go so easily
Sounds of dawn make their way in through the window
And a picture of your smile crowds my eyes
I hug myself close, wondering how
Sometimes love survives
