I thought of you again today.
You appeared unbidden like a thief in the dark;
Entering my mind to twist the stake in my heart.

I thought of you again today.
Words uttered by a stranger unknown
Still cause pain that I thought I'd outgrown.

I thought of you again today.
If they say that it takes time to heal,
Why is it only pain I feel?

I thought of you again today,
Of all the good times that we had,
Before our love became so sad.

I thought of you again today,
And how you turned each little dream
To something that made my heart scream.

I thought of you again today,
As I wearily climbed the stairs to bed.
I found you once again... There... In my head.

I thought of you again today.
Why can't you release this hold on me,
So once again, I can be alone and free?

I thought of you again today
And realise the hold you once had is gone
Leaving me finally ready to move on.
