When the present might seem dim and cold
without that burning flame to push someone forward
one will turn their head around and look for their deepest care
that past love you remember no matter how long it's been
that girl that sat next with you, while you cried those tears
that boy that payed your meal, when you had no money
those past memories that were long gone
in those old picture and painting
past love can be a wonderful thing
it puts a smile upon your face when your feeling alone
or it can help you avoid those wrong choices you fear
it's a shame it's just a past romance now
you'll always remember falling in love that first time
might it be the wrong person, who ruined valentines day
or the right person, who brought happiness to your heart
we can all close our eyes and put on a smile for past romance
forever it's memory that will no longer return
but those feelings and words will stay forever in our minds
"i love you" you once said
to that past love in a distant future that has yet to be seen
forever it will grow and change
all for that great feeling of falling in love in the end
