Moving On

I met you there and wanted you here
politely you decline, your will does resist
after you opened the door to my heart
you pack it all up and move on

I get through the evenings, look to tomorrow
eluding the dreams, long gone fantasies
what came as a shadow, disperses in the dark 
after you took it all and moved on

now comes the time for me to move on too
not live in the past, with what little you left
will it always remain, that once sweet refrain
every thought, every feeling that was you
