In an envelope of heartache

lay the petals of our love,

I gave the very best of me

but it never was enough.

I have to close the chapter

of a love that never grew,

I have to say goodbye at last

to a love that was untrue.

I know I should be happy

to be free from all that pain,

but my fragile heart is breaking

knowing we can never go back again.

So I'm keeping happy memories

pressed between the pages of my mind,

they'll be my life's reminder

of your love I've left behind
