Ghost of What Remains

Love is like a dove released to the air 

but you can't make it return to , 

you can't make it care 



when love becomes distant and shallow over the years 

i't tramples your self worth 

but you are unable to cry,because you've used up all your tears 



All shall pass,time wisely explains 

yes, my love for his is gone 

And what I have left, is only the ghost of what remains
