I think back to the days that I loved you,
The way I always needed you around,
But I wouldn't admit it then, nor will I admit it now.
So, I'll hide my pain and never make a sound.
I counted the steps that you took when you walked away,
I smiled ruefully as every step ripped at my heart.
The pain was unbearable, yet I didn't say a word.
I didn't realize that it was you who could tear me apart.
It was usually I, who walked away from you,
But you turned the tables on me,
It was I who ran away from all the pain.
And I hold memories that just won't let me be.
There's nothing I can do to change the way you feel,
There's nothing I can do to ease the pain,
I can only smile and keep it to myself,
Yet, deep in my heart, I know I'll never be the same.
I'll never forget you; you've been embedded into my heart;
You're forever held in my memory; you'll eventually consume my mind.
I won't deny my feelings for you, though I won't ever let it show,
'Cause I know that you have my heart fully entwined.
I wanted to give you everything I had,
Though I didn't have much to offer at the time,
I didn't know who I was,
I didn't know what I wanted in my life.
So, I'm left to think and to wonder,
What would've happened if I did things a different way,
But I know I'll never find out,
And I know your memories are here to stay.
