It's been a long, long time
Since I could call you mine
You haven't been around,
Although you're still in town.
Your life is different now
And yet, I know somehow
You're still a part of mine
If only in my mind.
I go on loving you,
But what good does it do?
The love I feel so much
Has nothing left to touch.
You're still the world to me,
Not just a memory.
I hope you'll soon one day
Come back to me to stay.
You're full of need, like me
I wonder when you'll see
We mainly need to give
Our love a chance to live.
We've both been hurt before
But, this I know for sure
If we don't try again
We'll both lose in the end.
I go on loving you,
But what good does it do?
The love I feel so much
Has nothing left to touch.
You mean the world to me,
Not just a memory.
I hope you'll soon one day
Come back to me to stay.
