I don’t want that darkness that hangs over me like a cloud
I don’t want that darkness that hangs over me like a shroud
The darkness that once was my closest friend
We met when our love affair came to an end

Hours forever we would spend up in my room
Steeped in our gloom
A game we shared, my partner in solitaire
Filled with despair we would sit in our chair deep in shade
A game of loneliness we forever played

We shared our hopeless moments together
We shared the sadness that bordered on madness
We shared our haunted memories
We shared our taunted reveries

It’s not easy to let go of someone you shared
Your darkest moments so
But when you start to dimly see that life is more
Then you thought it would be

You open your eyes and visualize that
Love was a lot more then you realized
You thank the darkness for being there
When no one else seemed to care

A solitary red rose is what I chose
Not a pink, not a yellow, not a white
There is only one thing I wish to propose
That you lay it on your pillow tonight♥
**************************************
Tonight, a red rose has fallen to the ground

I don’t need any castles in the sky
I don’t need blue birds over a mountain
I don’t need any stars up in the blue
All I ever needed was you

I don’t need any colors of a rainbow
I don’t need a torch to light my heart
I don’t need a mansion with a view
All I ever needed was you

I could go on forever dreaming
But dreams will never satisfy
I don’t need my dreams to remind me
That I need you by my side

I don’t need the world to tell me
That romance and love are required too
I don’t need my heart to remember
That all I ever needed was just you♥

Let me take you back to where we belong
Back to a place back to the beginning
Come with me to where it all started
Back to the place where the two of us parted

We need to change what Fate has declared
We need to change this destiny we shared
We need to convince the gods up above
That this Fate or destiny can transform our love

We need to persuade each of those in charge
That you are my Venus and I am your Mars
We need to plead to the gods above us
The ones that will the ones that love us
For a second chance to fulfill our romance

If you are willing then take hold of my arm
We’ll renew our destiny to where it may lead
A second destiny a second Fate
It’s there if we want for us it waits
We have to believe that what we have is predetermined
An inevitable love if we want it to be
Just you and I together is all that we need
Just you and I together and we can make it succeed

Now that we have found each other again
And our thoughts reflect on remembering when
Let’s cherish the good times and forget the bad
And remind ourselves about the good memories we had
If we ever want this romance to last
Let’s take a shower and wash away the past

If there are things in the past we used to regret
Or memories and moments we wish to forget
If this romance is ever to survive
And our love is to ever be kept alive
We need to be honest and hold on fast
So let’s take a shower and wash away the past

Let’s tell each other the things we regret
Let’s talk it out while we get ourselves wet
Let’s remind each other of our mistakes
Let’s continue to shower for as long as it takes
For when we found each other again the spell was cast
So let’s take that shower and wash away the past

Before we step out let us remind there are
things in the past we need not rewind
We’ll both step out together knowing for sure
That this romance will forever endure
We’ll promise each other with a solemn vow
That our lives together begin then and now
So if you ever want this romance to last
Let’s take a shower and wash away the past

Sometimes it’s hard to retrieve
The heart that’s found its way down to my sleeve
Showing itself I never know where
I hold out my hand and I find my heart there

A heart filled with sorrow
A heart filled with grief
A heart filled with pain
A heart left for another tomorrow

This heart of mine
This foolish heart
This heart that aches
This heart that breaks

It returns to me void
To start over again
I never know where
I never know when

Until that day when my heart stands still
And its silence is broken by its beats
It will continue its journey on down as it will
For as long as it takes before it finally breaks

You never expect it it just happens
It stirs up feelings you try to hide
But you can’t deny how you feel inside
It arouses your desires
You try to forget but you can’t deny her
A love that never leaves
Causing many a heart to grieve
A love you thought would never end
Left a heart that will never mend
First love never hurts a little bit
You may get out of it
But you never get over it♥

This search I search is more than I can bear
For wished dreams we used to share
I peer through the veil out into the clear
Hoping that maybe you’ll be there

I feel my search is all in vain
A quest that endures leaving  nothing but pain
I look for you around every corner
Every crowded street every quiet thorough-fare
Hoping that maybe you’ll be there

I check our favorite rendezvous
A place we shared a kiss or two
I follow the dreams we had for each other
Hoping that I might discover
Hoping that you might appear
Hoping that maybe you’ll be there

A lover’s search can never be denied
For a lover’s heart will always be tried
It seeks to find it seeks to declare
It will search any place it will search anywhere
Hoping that maybe she’ll be there♥

You never saw me cry
You never said good-bye
Not a word was said
Just heaviness in my head

You forgot to remember
(The rains) the colors of September
Our moments of splendor
The days we spent together

Not even a good-bye kiss
To remind me of its bliss
My eyes watched you leave
You never turned to see me grieve

You forgot to remember
Those summer days
That summer haze
Our true love ways

Did I do something wrong?
Is that the reason you left me?
Was I too weak? Too strong?
Am I now a forgotten memory?

You forgot to remember
Sleigh rides in December
The night our love conspired
The warmth of a winter’s fire
Our true hearts’ desires

Will I ever see you again?
Tell me where tell me when
Or if you still have thoughts of me
Or will you only be a part of my memory?

You forgot to remember
My reflection in your eyes
My string around your heart
My lips reserved set apart
Why don’t you remember?

I am the one that you loved so
I am the one that you cared about.
I am the one that you adored
I am the one that left you at your door

I never turned to see you cry
I never turned to say good-bye
I never turned to watch you go
I never turned to tell you why

I left you there all alone
I left you to wonder what went wrong
I left you to dream of what could have been
I left you with a love buried deep within

I wish you love I did not give
I wish you moments only we can relive
I wish you a life I could not impart
I wish you never again a broken heart

I am the one whose dreams are none
I am the one whose life is on pause
I am the one who orders dinner for one
I am the one who……just because
