Imaginary Lover

Do you ever get that 
momentary lapse in time
When you can't get a past love 
off your mind
You're caught in the deep end 
sinking fast
Wanting to go forward but 
stuck in the past

I thought I saw mine last night 
on the street
The one with Le Cafe where we 
once used to meet
But like all star-crossed lovers 
caught up in despair
We tend to see some things 
that aren't really there.
