If ever I knew love, I let it go
Turned my back, walked away, if only in my mind
A burden I can’t bear, a longing I don’t share
If ever I knew love, I didn’t feel it
There is a certain pleasure in the free fall, once words are spoken that are true
The look in the eye, tear on cheek…
If ever I proclaimed true love, it was never meant for you
Some are made with tender hearts, yours, just for the taking
Some are made with hearts of stone, who enjoy the other’s waiting
As for me, I am neither that weak, nor am I that strong
If ever I thought I knew true love, I knew it not till it was gone
