The You of My Heart


The image of you can still shake me to the core
The boy whom I knew and who knew me
With the dreams and the plans,
and the vision and the hope
With whom I was who I wanted to be

Well, he’s gone and she’s gone,
they’re both gone, lost in time
The people who we once were
Now there’s you and there’s me,
and we’re standing in their place
Of those two there’s barely a trace

There’s not the same light in your face
Your eyes no longer look into mine
Your thoughts and ambitions have changed
Your ideas, and even your mind
Reality has parted from memory
They are now a world apart
You’re not the same person I knew
I’m in love with the you of my heart

You would think that by now I’d have learned to detach
They say the distance is a cure
They say time will heal, and time will tell
Well it said all it had to say

There’s not the same light…
