Phantom Love of Yesterday
I Didn't know you were coming back .
So many years have past.
I never promised you tomorrows
Or that My love would last.
Your eyes look so much bluer.
And time has been good to you.
No lines of worry upon your face.
Just some inner light shining through.
Years have quickly past me by.
And Time did not wait for me.
I'm older , slower yet wiser
I no longer feel loves need.
No longer will I give My heart
To have it handed coldly back to me.
I will never let myself love again.
For too long I have been free.
I don't often feel the loneliness anymore.
Nor feel loves cruel empty pains.
Where your eyes so very blue ,
When you left me that day ?
Why is it , Your how I remember ?
Why have you come to my door ?
How come you left so long ago ?
Not wanting me anymore ?
So many questions I wanted to ask you.
But that need finally set my heart free.
I'm older and so very tired now.
No longer beautiful , you see.
Worry has left my face wrinkled,
My eyes no longer sparkle with light,
My body so weary and broken.
No longer beautiful in your sight.
Why did you come to see me?
To now have to remember me this way.
Instead of the woman who captured your heart.
The phantom love of Yesterdays.
Time has moved by so fast.
I never knew you were coming back.
Now as you gaze at this time worn face
You know Our love wouldn't last.
So , say goodbye and walk away.
You came to see what you had to see.
Not the girl from the time long ago.
Once Again , I watch you leave.
Why is it , Your how I remember ?
Why did you come to my door ?
Why return from the long ago ?
And still not want me anymore ?
