I once had somebody I loved
Her touch, her tender cheek pressed gently against my own
The feeling alone warmed my blood and sent chills down my spine
Oh how I miss that feeling, of my heart pounding, after that first glance

But now its all over
That evil fiend know as time has taken her away from me
If only I could go back, and salvage whatever I could have
Maybe, just maybe, I could have kept her from leaving

She left without a warning, without a sign
She said that she wanted to be friends, but how often is that said
But to just be friends, I should cherish
So, as being her friend, I might soon win her over again

How could I have forgotten that first date
That rapid and violent beating of my heart as I waited for her
That feeling when it all went away after I first saw her sweet angelic face
How I long to experience that feeling once more

But one experience that I shall never forget, was our first kiss
Feeling my heart race hers, in a race that was too close to be judged
That soothing feeling of her lips pressed against my own
A feeling that I shall never forget and will not want anyone else to experience

"Parting is such sweet sorrow", said Shakespeare
And at this time I could not agree with him more
For I have lost my love; and even though I fear I will love no more
I will always keep her in my heart, and her, I shall never forget
