As my mind plays back the memories
It took this long to realize
The love we shared was special
And all things eventually die.

When you were speaking words of love
I know they were meant at the time
We had no way of knowing then
Our love would be an uphill climb.

I thank you for the memories
They'll stay inside my heart
I'll keep them there for old time's sake
As today I make my new start.

So now sweetheart, I say good-bye
To our love and then to you
This is the time for closure
For me to go and start anew.
