Love is a word we still use

But the meaning is so confused

If you love me and if I love you,

Why can't I feel it in your touch

Why can't I see it in your eyes

Or see it in the way you act with me

Why can't I feel it in my heart or in my soul?

Where did it go or was it ever really here

Was it just a fantasy I wanted so desperately

Why do you still tell me you love me?

When there's no meaning behind your eyes

Why are you still here?

Why do I stay?

Are we hoping magically it will just appear?

If we had it, it is gone now

Where did it go?

How can we get what we lost?

How can we survive without the love we want?

Maybe it was all just an illusion

It's time to wake up now

And recognize that it's gone!

It's time to move on.
