^*Would you just listen and please don't say a word, Just yet,
I'd like you to think back to the very first time we met,
How you felt around me? The memories we shared,
And just remember that once upon a time, You really cared*^

^*Now think about how we parted, And how much I cried,
But please don't speak, Remember that I never ever lied,
That I told you the honest truth about why we were to split,
But now I'd like you to know that my heart broke bit by bit*^

^*The pain was deep, Unbearable and painful, For so many years, I'll never forget all the sadness, All the uncontrollable tears, Slowly I am rebuilding my life, I am content with what I've got, And although it is hard I am beginning to forget what I have not*^

^*You were a special part of my life that I will never forget,
A part of my life that broke my heart, But that I don't regret,
You gave me some happy memories that I'll keep in my heart,
Although sometimes I wish that you and I didn't have to part*^

^*You were my true and eternal love, That will always be so, After all of the heartache, Sadness and never ending pain, I know,You and I had something special and that will never change, Because I love you and loving someone else will always seem strange*^

^*Would you just listen and please don't say a word, Not ever,
I'd like you to remember that once upon a time, We said forever, That I had hopes and dreams, That I was the one who threw them away, And this is something I will always regret until my dying day*^
