**🎵 "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…
