I never told you how I felt, did I?
I tried to tell you, God knows I tried
The words wouldn?t come, but the fact remains
I really tried

Even after our lives parted
I still bore that torch
At times my hands would burn
as thoughts of you ran in my head unbidden

Even now, now that you?ve probably forgotten me
you are prominent in my thoughts
I tried to forget you
I really tried

You are no longer in my life, only a specter
A you that doesn?t truly exist
I bore that torch, but it?s all right,
I think my problem solved itself

I met someone else, just as captivating
I was able to cast the torch aside
But does it still burn or has it extinguished?
Or will it ignite and burn me again?

It doesn?t matter at the moment
Destiny takes its course
I can?t just forget you,
though I really try
