Forever / 1999

I took your love for granted
how could I have been so blind
you gave me all I ever wanted
a love with an unbreakable bind

I never paid attention
to what love meant to me
but what I see when I look at love now
is you + me = eternity

I’ve been taught love lasts forever
that it never fades away
I know my love for you is eternal
we’ll be together again someday

it’s said that the first love is the hardest to lose
I know now that is true
but the only thing I know for certain
is I’m still in love with you

I know I’ve made some big mistakes
I’m sorry, though it’s hard to believe
and though I know it’s hard for you
your forgiveness is all I want to achieve

I’m not asking for your love
give it to someone who’s deserving
all I want is for you to believe
I’m sorry I’ve been so discerning

I want you to know I love you
with all of my soul and heart
and I know that if we’re meant to be
our love no longer will drift apart

remember over the years to come
my love for you won’t die
and if you ever look at my face again
you’ll see it in my eyes
