Believe Me

It is not that I want
To feel the way I do.
I know it is a great injustice,
But I cannot help it.
Believe me when I say
That I've tried and tried,
To forget it all;
But it is not that easy.

It is not
That I do not feel for you
What I felt for her.
It is not
That I do not dream of you
As I did of her
Each and every other night -
Hoping that it would last forever.

They say,
That time is a great healer..
Maybe with a little more time,
I will finally forget-
The intimate walks together,
The long nights we spent,
Locked in each others' arms,
Lost in a world of our own.

With a little more time,
The pain of the heartbreak,
The memories of the day,
She went away
Will be forgotten-
And maybe then,
My girl,
Can I fall in love with you.
