I`m here to tell you we can never meet again. 
Simple really, isn`t it, a word or two and then. 
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when. 
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell. 
The someone you once loved so long ago so well. 

Never wonder what I feel as living shuffles by. 
You don`t have to ask me and I need not reply. 
Every moment of my life from now until I die. 
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand. 
How a perfect love can be confound and out of hand. 

Is it written in the stars. 
Are we paying for some crime. 
Is that all that we are good for. 
Just a stretch of mortal time. 

Is this God`s experiment. 
In which we have no say. 
In which we`re given paradise. 
But only for a day. 

Nothing can they alter, there is nothing to decide. 
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide. 
You are all I`ll ever want, but this I am denied. 
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I`d never learn. 
What it is to be in love and have that love returned.
