I'll Start by Saying "I Love You"
I'll start by saying I love you,
And I wish you were still here with me
But life travels different paths,
And sometimes that’s how its meant to be.
The people in songs always say
To be in the moment, dare to live
But I just think about the past
And the memories, they don’t forgive.
I still remember your bright smile
How you looked on our very first date
I think about just how you laughed,
I remember every single trait.
I still remember your brown eyes
And all the music you loved to hear.
I remember the way you danced
You commanded my whole atmosphere.
I still remember our prom night
When all we did was talk, nothing more
That was the night I knew for sure
I liked the way you made my heart soar.
I still remember what it's like
To feel just the way I did for you
Just the amount of love I saw
Glistening off you like the morning dew.
I still remember your glasses
And all the sweet things we would say
You made me a better person
In your kind and ever-loving way.
I still remember when you left.
When you decided I'm not worth it.
How you didn’t tell me goodbye
And how my heart sank into a pit.
I still remember you saying
We weren't meant to last after all
And I know we're just teenagers
But I thought love could beat that brick wall.
I still remember how I dreamt
And would wake a cold shiver
Because the dreams I had were of you
Memories flowing like a river.
I am still now recovering
From all the suffering I endured
And no matter how hard I try
Sometimes it seems like I won't be cured.
So I'll end by saying again
Even though you caused me so much pain
That I really do still love you
Though my heart has been hit by a train.
