What are these feelings that have taken over me?
What happened to the ordinary world that my life used to be?
This crazy feeling chat I can't go on is wild;
I have the mind of an adult, but still the heart of a child.

I wish there were something I could do, something else I could say;
It seems I'm not enough, so I guess its better this way.
I can't help but think about the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
The times when we were "as one," so happy and so glad.

I still hear your voice whispering soft words in my ear…
Words like, "I love you," "I miss you," and others that we held dear.
It's funny how your feelings can suddenly change,
And how life's toughest obstacles, no one can explain.

It's hard to let go of someone that means so much to you;
In many ways it's like a death, until time takes it's due.
I guess I'll have to hold on to the memories that I have of you
And hope one day you'll realize that this love was true.
