It Doesn'T Show

Sometimes I'm calm, and sometimes I tremble whenever I see someone you resemble. Though it was over some time ago, I still spend some time with you on my mind -- But, it doesn't show. Each day it seems that my heart remembers the warmth of a love that's now just an ember. What once was a flame is now just a glow-- but each night, it seems, you're still in my dreams But, it doesn't show. You left a scar where it wouldn't show -- and just you and I are all who will know -- Although I may smile wherever I go, whenever we meet, my heart skips a beat -- But, it doesn't show. My heart will try to keep on pretending the love that was ours did not have an ending. But, someday, I'm sure, the truth it will know -- It just won't believe that you'd ever leave -- So, it doesn't show. You left a scar where it wouldn't show -- and just you and I are all who will know -- What once was a flame is now just a glow -- but each night, it seems, you're still in my dreams But, it doesn't show.
