Forget

To My First Real Love

They say I'll forget in time
The love that was never really mine
I'll forget the love burning inside
And all the times over him I've cried

They say I'll forget his warm embrace
And all the smiles he put on my face
I'll forget all the memories we've shared
And how he once said he cared

They say I'll forget arms that held me tight
And giving in to something I couldn't fight
I'll forget time spent in his bed
And all the dreams of him stuck in my head

They say it will only take time to forget
The fire in my heart.... the one he lit
I'll forget the caress of his eyes
And the way I felt when we said our goodbyes

They say I'll forget the way we once were
And in time there'll be no pain to endure
They say I'll forget in time
The love that was never really mine
