There were never any explanations 
For why you felt the need to leave 
I just had to accept it was over
When you left without saying goodbye 

Surprise overcame me months later 
When you returned to where we met 
Was it fate, us meeting that night 
You walking in as I was leaving 

Neither of us expected to see the other 
So unsure of what each would say
I asked you why you were there 
In memory of the night we met, you said

We reminisced of our time together 
Answers my heart longed for were given 
And we spoke of all we had been through 
In the year we spent apart 

All my feelings came rushing back 
Though they had never really left 
You said you miss me, still love me 
But yet, you are with another

As I sit on the hill overlooking the city 
The lights sparkling in the night 
Hold no fascination for me 
Without you there by my side

Now I find myself going back 
To the time when you were here 
The memories of the love we shared 
Keep running through my mind

I remember everything about you 
Your voice, eyes, smile, all the laughter 
Your touch, so tender and loving 
The fun we shared, the quiet times too 

I'm told time will heal
This aching in my heart
Until then I will keep wondering
Why can't I let you go?
