I knew it then, the light grew thin,
Your smile was warm, but not within.
The words grew few, the nights turn cold,
and I still carry what we were-
In quite wind, in whispered blur.
but love it seems, is not a flame
that bury forever with the same
sometimes it's just a fleeting light,
A burst of stars, then gone from sight.
I wish I hid the words I've said,
the one should kept beneath my lips.
but even in this dark regret,
I hold the love I won't forget,
though time has drawn us far apart.
you're still the song inside my heart-
A sweet, soft pain I can't reset.
but not all love is meant to stay,
some simply bloom then fade away.
you gave me something pure and true,
a piece of light I carry thru-
a sweeter heart because of you.
a gentle ache, a quite theft
the best of me, once loved
by you.
