Memories of You

[2005]

Memories of You

Well I, I wasn't expecting this pain

Emotions embarrassed; completely ashamed

As the words "I love you" escaped from your lips

I remembered the taste of your undying kiss

But those words that you said, those special three

For the very first time, they weren't to me

And now, I don't know what I am to do

I can't seem to stop me from thinking of you

I've been here without you, been doing just fine

I thought I was fine that you’re no longer mine

But as tears gently flow from my sleepless eyes

I finally start to realize

Too little, too late, it's always the case

And never again will I feel your embrace

I'll always remember the looks that we shared

I'll never forget us- "the perfect pair"

Just one last kiss, that's all that I ask

I'll put on a smile- my happy mask

Please-one more kiss-I promise you, dear

That after that kiss, I'll disappear

But always I'll know that when our lips united

The world stopped revolving, and sparks were ignited

I'll gracefully bow myself out of your way

I'll sprout myself wings and fly far away

However the pictures I cannot destroy

A fairy tale formed of a girl and a boy

A girl and a boy, who so long ago

Were barely completing the greeting "hello"

Awkward and shy they held hands in the halls

Wrote notes to each other and waited for calls

Many years later, their hands still connected

A lifetime of memories they had collected

Moments created cannot be replaced

With each passing moment they're fading away

I wish I could bottle up moments with you

Or feelings we shared, so vibrant and new

On days when I feel like I just can't go on

I'd tip back that bottle until it's all gone

Drunk off your kiss I would much rather be

High on your love for the world to see

But now my lamenting will come to an end

And my achy breaky heart- I need to mend
