A song about a love that just won't fade, even when separated by time and space.

You've been absent from my life for years, 
yet you linger in my mind. 
I can't believe that you won't leave my heart. 

Yet I haven't cried a thousand tears. 
It's not a love of that kind. 
There's just an empty ache that we're apart. 

And I know that it makes no sense. 
But it makes no difference 
Love plays by it's own rules. 
And I know that this is only 
a fool's heart being lonely. 
Well, count me among the fools -- 
one of love's lost and lonely fools. 

So I try a million clever ways 
to think of something else. 
But my heart has seen it all before. 

'Cause it only takes a word, a phrase, 
and I'm lost inside myself. 
With your memory, with your allure. 

And I know...
