When I ponder what could've been, the ache cuts deep within
A lingering sorrow that refuses to fade, a heart that's lost its way
I search for answers, night and day, trying to place the blame
Is it you, is it me, or the judgment of outside eyes looking in?

When memories of us resurface, I'm overwhelmed with grief
A tidal wave of tears, a longing that brings me to my knees
My desire for you is all-consuming, a flame that burns so bright
Yet, I fear it's a danger, a risk that's not worth the fight

Perhaps it's just my own demons, my complicated, messy life
A reality that might drive you away, leaving me to face the strife
I'm the one who made mistakes, who let our love slip away
But am I the only one to blame, or just a fragment of a love that's lost its way?

Can our love be rekindled, or is it lost forevermore?
Is there still a chance for us, or am I longing for something that's no more?
My heart beats selfishly, yearning only for our love's revival

You're always on my mind, for reasons yet to be revealed
A constant presence that I've grown accustomed to, a love that still feels like home
I miss the gentle touch of your lips, the warmth of your loving gaze
Longing to be with you again, to rekindle our love's fading blaze

I regret not spending every moment with you, not cherishing our time
Wondering if you still belong to me, or if your heart now beats to a different harmony
