I Wish I Could Forget You

I Wish I Could Forget You

I wish I could forget you

Erase you from my mind

But ever since I met you

I find

I cannot leave the thought of you behind

That doesn't mean I love you...

I wish that I could love you...

I know that I've upset you

I know I've been unkind

I wanted you to vanish from sight

But now I see you in a different light

And though I cannot love you

I wish that I could love you

For now I'm feeling love

Like none I've ever known

A love as pure as breath

As permanent as death

Implacable as stone

A love that like a knife

Has cut into a life

I wanted left alonе

A love I may regret

But onе I can't forget

I don't know how I let you

So far inside my mind

But there you are and there you will stay

How could I ever wish you away?

I see now I was blind

And should you die tomorrow

Another thing I see:

Your love will live in me
