because you won't...

remember when we had it all?
when each moment was full of love, joy, and magic?
heart, soul, mind, body - totally content?
it was so sweet and beautiful and complete...
and now it's gone, but why?
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

you took me to the heights of heaven
and then down into the depths of hell
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from giddy smiles and fits of joy at the spontaneous thought of you
to that aching feeling in the pit of my stomach that just won't go away
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from the promises of all the things we would do in the future
to the emptiness of your absence in word and presence
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from trust
to betrayal
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from perfection
to destruction
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from madly in love
to absent in apathy
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

from quiet nights in the warmth of each other's embrace, heartbeats and breaths in sync
to nights choked with tears, alone in the aching sense of loss, pain, betrayal, and isolation
because you won't let go of the past
and you won't be honest with yourself

we had it all
but now it's gone
because you won't...

one fine day...

somewhere in time
