*Flickering Candles
Candles flicker in my room
Reminding me of what used to be
The memory of us
Sitting in the moonlight
Flickering over the lake
Brings tears to my eyes
That night you held me close
Like you would never let go
You looked deep in my eyes
Penetrating the very depths of my soul
And spoke words so clear
"I love you."
I felt like I was dreaming
Was this really true?
Did you truly say those words?
Is it really you?
I held you tight
And echoed you
Saying, "I love you too."
I felt you breathe a sigh of relief
As you knew it was true
Then why'd you have to go away
After that other girl?
You broke my heart the day you left
The day you said good-bye
I've finally stopped crying
We weren't meant to be
The candles flicker out
One by one
Like a dying love
Not meant to last
