It's been 23 years since I first saw you
The feelings never changed one bit
I try to run away from you
I'm halfway around the world now
But the memory of your sweet smile never left me
That's because I never let you go
You don't even know you still mean everything to me
When I chanced across a picture of you today
Smiling at the most beautiful child in your arms
Your smile told me you're happy,
That was all I ever wanted you to be
Of course I wish I was with you
But I always knew it was not meant to be
I know I'll never speak to you
And you'll never smile at me
But what I feel for you goes beyond that
Your happiness means everything to me
A corner of my being is always there for you.
I think of you all the time
Sometimes I even dream of you
When that happens it makes my day
For I carry the memory of the dream with me
I'm known to be very pragmatic
I know its silly to hold on to memories that never were
But I'll keep whatever memory I have of you
The few smiles I have of you will remain
That's how I will always remember you
I just wanted to say I'll always love you!
