When He Loved Me

I remember when he loved me
Life was the best it could be
He'd hold me close, say he loved me most
And I'd feel so free

I remember when he kissed me
Butterflies streamed the night
The world hushed and I blushed
Everything felt right

I remember when he whispered
Promises I did believe
A life together, a love forever
My pains he did relieve

I remember when he called me
Late that night, I was asleep
I'd ask what was wrong, he'd say all along
He was missing me

I remember when he laughed
The universe turned inside out
I was on the stars, Earth was far
My joy conquered doubt

I remember when he danced
Holding me in his arms
We were in a trance, lost in romance
I fell to his charm

I remember when he smiled
Black seemed to turn to white
His face glowed, his beauty showed
Darkness turned to light

Then that morning came
Said he really had to try
Things were hard, his destiny was afar
So he said goodbye

All those nights after
Memories flooded my mind
Stomach churning, heart burning
Pain followed behind

His picture on my pillow
I hold it so lovingly
Wondering where he is, who touches his lips
If he remembers me

I remember when he loved me
Life was the best it could be
He'd hold me close, say he loved me most
And I'd feel so free

When he loved me, when he loved me
Everything felt right
