In my heart, a flame still burns,
For the one who's no longer here.
Though our love has taken turns,
The memories I hold dear.
I knew our time was fleeting,
But I couldn't help but feel
The way my heart was beating,
When in his presence, so surreal.
We laughed and loved and dreamed,
Of a future bright and true.
But fate had other schemes,
And now I'm left with just a few.
The ache inside still lingers,
For the love that used to be.
But I know my heart still remembers,
The way he once loved me.
So I hold onto those moments,
As I move on with my life.
And though our love is dormant,
I will always cherish that sweet, sweet light.
