I never forgot
No matter how hard I tried
The company we sought
The way I felt inside
Your favorite colors, and your deepest fear
The things you said that melted me
And helped me persevere

You changed my whole world
My old life shed like the skin on a snake
The blanket of security unfurled
But I dealt with the heartache

Because I had you
And though it was a lie
What happened was still truth
A story hard to come by

Oh, I never forgot
No matter the cost
You are often in my thoughts
Your presence, oh so soft

My heart was reaching out for you
And I meant every word I said
In the end I couldn't break through
To a heart already dead

You cursed my very nature
And you threw away our past
Changing until one day you were a stranger
Your new outlook so steadfast

But I never forgot the way you were
And what it was  we shared
Even if I'll never know for sure
If you ever really cared..
