A love I left behind

**🎵 "A Love I Left Behind" 🎵**

*(Verse 1)*

I think of you in quiet ways

Like echoes caught in yesterday

A smile, a song, a touch, a glance

The kind of love that felt like chance

But life moved on, and so did I

With someone new, beneath new skies

He holds me now with gentle care

But sometimes I feel you still there

*(Chorus)*

I miss the way we used to be

But you're a ghost that can’t stay close to me

I'm loving someone who deserves my heart

And I can't let it fall apart

So I bury you in silent dreams

In between the might-have-beens

You were a flame that burned so bright

But not the fire I need tonight

*(Verse 2)*

I’m scared you can’t love me right

The way I need, the way I fight

For warmth, for peace, for something whole

Not just a flicker in the cold

And though I ache to call your name

I won’t play that kind of game

‘Cause hearts aren’t toys and love’s not fair

And he’s still here… and he still cares

*(Chorus)*

I miss the way we used to be

But you're a ghost that can’t stay close to me

I'm loving someone who deserves my soul

And letting you go is how I grow

So I keep you in a gentle place

A memory I’ll never chase

You were a spark, a perfect time

But not the ending that was mine

*(Bridge)*

If we had tried again, who knows?

But would you stay or just let go?

I want a love that holds me true

Not wondering if I'm enough for you

*(Final Chorus)*

I miss you still, it’s bittersweet

But loving him makes me feel complete

You’ll always be a part of me

But I’m choosing now, I’m choosing peace

*(Outro)*

Goodbye to what we couldn’t be

A love I left to set me free…
