I remember the day
When you took me in your arms
And with quiet words and assurances
Robbed me of something precious
I remember the day
As if it were yesterday
When my innocence was no more
And I had no choice but to move on
How I wish
I could hate you for this
But somehow I cannot
My traitorous heart continues
To beat for only you
My eyes keep searching
For a glimpse of you in a crowd
So that my body can tremble in delight
More once.
Leave me be
Release this hold you have cast around me
So that I can be free to love again
Without the ghost of you
Lingering in my heart.
