How could I ever begin to tell you the way I feel inside
Of the memories I have of the special times we shared together
Or of the way I'll cherish those memories forever in my heart
The memories of the way we used to laugh
And of the times we cried
And even the memory of the time we spent up in the hills together
In the middle of the night to watch the city lights below
And made love for the very first time
I think of you often on nights such as this
And how we used to pass the time talking for hours on the telephone
Now I have no one to talk to but myself
And that gets to be pretty lonely company after awhile
I've picked up the phone many times to call you
But I always end up putting the receiver back down with your number half dialed
Knowing that if you wanted to talk to me you already would have
Sometimes I think its my foolish pride that keeps us from being friends again
And sometimes I think it's yours
But in the end I find it really doesn't matter
Because the end is always the same
There are a lot of things I regret about the time we spent together
A lot of things that were said and done that shouldn't have been
Or just should have been done differently
But the one I regret most was the day we said goodbye
The day we ceased to exist to eachother as nothing more than distant memories
And faded photographs
I hope that one day, when you look back upon the times we shared together
That you will remember all the love and happiness we felt
And that you will cherish those memories as I do
Forever, deep within your heart
