They say memories will haunt you
broken promises will keep you awake
and smiles will fade.

But I'm more haunted by
All the things I wanted to do
And now I will never will.

Remembering kills me
but it is the thought of
you and I buying groceries
for a home we will never own
that haunts me

All the promises I never made
About a future
I will never see
that keep me awake

It's not thinking
of my life before you
that scares me
it is your life
without me
that lurks in my dreams

I'm not haunted by
the things I shared,
The things that haunt me
are all the ones
I never shared.

I'm not just haunted by you
I'm haunted by
what you where
what you are
what you will be
and
what we will never be.
