You once lit a fire deep inside me
Like a summer that would never fade
But you disappeared… with the winter wind
Leaving me to hold myself in empty space
I hide my words in every breath I take
Too afraid to ask why you went away
All I know is, since that day
Every feeling… has grown cold in a strange way
The fire in my heart, frozen and confined
It’s still burning… though it cannot shine
It still loves… though it has no right to show
It still waits for you… even knowing that day will never come
Some nights I dream that you’re still here
In that dream… we are never apart
But when I wake, there’s only my breath
And a truth I can’t bear to face
Is there anyone who still remembers me
In the small corner where you once hid your heart?
I’m still standing there… unchanged
Even if the world has thrown you far beyond my reach
The fire in my heart, frozen and confined
Never extinguished… just hidden too deep for anyone to see
It can’t burn you anymore
But it burns me… every single night
