I Wish I Could Forget You

I wish I could forget you
Erase you from my mind
But ever since I met you, I find
I cannot leave the thought of you behind
That doesn’t mean I love you
I wish that I could love you
I know that I’ve upset you
I know I’ve been unkind
I wanted you to vanish from sight
But now I see you in a different light
And though I cannot love you
I wish that I could love you
For now I’m seeing love
Like none I’ve ever known
A love as pure as breath
As permanent as death
Implacable as stone
A love that like a knife
Has cut into a life
I wanted left alon
A love I may regret
But on I can’t forget
