I close my eyes
And the memories rush back
Your smile
The sound of your voice

I'm lost in time
As I remember
Every word you said
Every time you touched me

I smile as I remember
Another time and place
As I drift back
Reliving the magic

You're not here with me
And all that's left
Is an empty ache
Where I keep you in my heart

 Time may heal
And the hurt will fade
But I will remember always
And I will think of you

 Part of me will always wonder
Maybe I wasn't good enough
Or pretty enough
You never told me

 My questions go unanswered
And I build walls around my heart
You can never hurt me
If you cannot reach me..
