When Love Dies

When love dies, where do you go? Please tell me, I have to know. When love dies, you die too And there's not a thing anyone can do. The only part that stays alive Are the memories and good times. For everything else is gone, You have to forget him and move on. But once your heart is broken, And so many words were spoken, It's hard just to forget, And say, "That's it". Day after day I hold on to him, Thinking about what could've been. Still, I know at this time I must confess That I have to let go, I guess. It's over, my hands are down Trying so hard not to frown. Realizing I've known this for quite some time, Yet taking this long, cause' love is blind. I was only hiding from the truth, That it's over for me and you. So many things have changed As my feelings slowly fade away. I still care for you my dear, But it just isn't worth anymore tears. (9/5/87)
