I wish I could forget you Erase you from my mind But ever since I met you I find, I cannot leave the thought of you behind That doesn't mean I love you I wish that I could love you I know that I've upset you I know I've been unkind I wanted you to vanish from sight But now I see you in a different light And though I cannot love you I wish that I could love you For now I'm seeing love Like none I've ever known A love as pure as breath, as permanent as death Implacable as stone A love that, like a knife, has cut into a life I wanted left alone A love I may regret But one I can't forget I don't know how I let you So far inside my mind But there you are and there you will stay How could I ever wish you away? I see now I was blind And should you die tomorrow Another thing I see Your love will live in me
