Memories

Looking through the memories
I've kept all this time,
Thinking of all the things we did
When you used to be mine.

Everything I could find
That reminded me of you,
I kept very deep in my heart
With memories old, yet ever new.

We used to have a lot of fun,
I hate to see it end.
It's gonna take a lot of time
For my broken heart to mend.

Even though we never expressed
Our feelings for each other,
I can honestly say I love you
Like I have never loved another.

I guess my love, it's time to go.
I've said all that I can say.
Just remember one more thing for me,
I love you more each day.
