[Hook: Tom Szoch]
Now you're just a memory/
Somebody I know longer know/
Feels like it's been about a century/
Another lifetime feels so long ago/
And you oughta know I don't hold grudge nah/
Forgiven you for all of the pain/
And you oughta know if we never talk much/
Hope we'll catch up in Eternity/ 2x
[Verse 1: Illijam]
You ran across my mind today, I see the dust/
You kicked up like Road Runners, I'm thinking bout us/
Guess I'm wilin when chasing like I am Wile E./
Meanwhile you are a mile ahead, and it's unlikely/
I'll finally catch up, so my mind is trickin/
I see something shiny as I'm pining to look in the distance/
But that ain't you, my mind projects an image of you from my pain/
Who berates me for still caring and hurting; why the disdain?/
I tell my mind's mirages that that ain't the friend I really knew/
We a**ume a lot from silence but I hope that isn't really you/
See I recall when after we'd been broken up for 5 months/
We ran into each other in July in Dunkin Donuts/
It was awkward we were shocked, you asked me for a hug/
How do you make mere small talk with one you used to love?/
But I digress, sometimes I feared you hated me; I just didn't know/
That night I realized you still care; things are just different though/
[Verse 2: Illijam]
Pardon me, pardon me, you were a part of me/
Only forget if I have a lobotomy/
Memories fade over time? Well probably/
But our time together does mean a lot to me/
Man I feel that way, I'm happy we happened/
But it happened that we didn't last by the Hand of the Captain/
We weren't happenstance or a mistake, despite mistakes we did make/
That time with you was a blessing, that nothing can negate/
Don't take for granted when outta seven billion human hearts/
Two hearts for even a time share a special bond/
That's so rare, I thank God/
Even while, I move on/
My heart will always recall, you as one of my closest friends/
Who I dreamed with and cared for when I was a young man/
Whose family I loved and and who adopted me/
We didn't lose the good of our past despite the injury/
So know I pray that you love our God/
And like them old days, count everything loss/
[Bridge: Illijam]
I'm so at peace now, have fond thoughts when I think about you/
My heart is free now, but I still hope you think well of me too/
And things will never be the same, but we're a part of each other and that's ok/
Heaven could tell, to you I bid a very fond farewell/
