When I met you,
I still believed in romance,
When I met you,
I still gave life a chance,
And when I met you,
I thought love would never go away,
Because when I met you,
I thought I had found love to stay.
I sit alone and leaf through,
The pages of memories,
I take long walks and bask,
In my own quiet reverie.
Then I let it happen,
Grieving into my heart, and it’s aches
Something so little,
With something so insignificant.
Something inside me breaks…
On that day,
I know I ran away
Helpless to endure,
Why? I cannot say for sure
I only know one truth,
Something that will always haunt me,
It’s that…
I used to hold you
I used to know you
I used to love you
Like I never loved before
I used to need you
Want to be with you
Spend time with you
Oh, so ever more
And now that I am older,
Romance has gone away
As I’m older,
I find the notion nostalgic and quaint
I’ll never know again,
that quiet chemistry
As I’m older,
My world disappears around me.
And being alone is nothing to be afraid of
Being alone is nothing to be ashamed of
Being alone is not like being lonely,
Being without you,
living without you,
Being here without you
It’s not a life for me.
