I Remember

Driving fast in the dead of night Alone in the car no end in sight She's like a ghost I'm trying to find But all traces of her fade in my mind Like the God I don't believe in yet Can't prove she was real but I won't forget Her scent still lingers in the midnight air As I fly through the city's empty streets Questions rise while answers retreat The darker the night the deeper my doubt About what I saw what life's about I remember your smile but not why you laughed Your gaze but not what it was cast upon I remember your body but not clothes you wore Your voice but not the words anymore I remember my answers but not your questions This desire but I never made the confession Like a mirage the closer I get the less I see They say mirages only exist in light But I see them here deep in the night Are you one of them or are you real My memories fade impossible to feel Moments once clear now merge and blend Leaving nothing but regrets in the end Why didn't I speak why did I let it go And if I had what would I know Or was I silent 'cause I had no choice I can't recall where I heard your voice I remember your smile but not why you laughed Your gaze but not what it was cast upon I remember your body but not clothes you wore Your voice but not the words anymore I remember my answers but not your questions This desire but I never made the confession Like a mirage the closer I get the less I see I remember this desire this tension felt But never did I tell you how my heart melts The sun now rises I leave this car Mind hazy wondering where you are No trace of you left just one thing clear You weren't lost you were never here Lost and dazed still half asleep As the city wakes from its deep Maybe tonight in my tortured mind My demons will show me the love I can't find
