I know what love is

I put my head on my pillow
And I start to go to sleep
Thoughts of your memory
Makes me feel at ease

I am not thinking my the workday
or of my hectic life
I think of times that moved me
And I dream of you all night

I lay there with my eyes closed
Thinking about times remembered
And know that a once special time
Comes at the end of September

On September 30th
Of the year 1994
You and I got closer
It was a cherished memory that I adore

A remembered but uncelebrated date
Because we have been apart
But for nearly eleven years
That date stays embedded in my heart

Many years have come and gone
There is so much that we went through
But I hold on to that memory
And my heart still belongs to you

But through all of the ups and downs
We both encountered over the years
One thing is now clear to me
Through the laughter and the tears

You have this certain power
It is a strong hold over me
Your memory is so warming
In you, I still believe

I used to ask myself
When will I know I found the one
Even when I had you
I made the choice to run

I did not know what love was
I never realized what I had
I never knew I would someday
Be so lonely and so sad

I finally know what love is
Because it hurts me every day
Not because I have love
But because I walked away

But you know what they say
If you love them set them free
And if they find a way back to you
Then it was meant to be

I am dreaming of the day
That we can be together
Hand in hand and cheek to cheek
Together again - this time forever

And once I find the strength
To make my dreams come true
I won't be thinking of you through my pillow
But instead - living my dream with you
