I can't love you this much, baby, and love you from afar
(from the loss album, adapted from An Echo of the Divine; a better view of the statue, which is outside the Art Institute in Chicago, was taken by James Birbeck and can be bought as a print.) |
when will I see you again?
you left with no goodbye
not a single word was said
no final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in
(from the loss album, and both adapted and reduced in size from a shot taken by Brechtbug of a statue in Woodlawn Cemetary.) |
I know I have a fickle heart
and a bitterness, and a wandering eye
and a heaviness in my head
(from the loss album; adapted from image found in the Alchemy of Grief entry on the Raven Essences blog) |
but don't you remember?
don't you remember
the reason you loved me before?
baby, please remember me, once more
(from the loss album; adapted from an illustration on the Health News blog) |
when was the last time
you thought of me?
oh, have you completely erased me from your memory?
'cos I often think about where I went wrong
and the more I do, the less I know
(from the loss album; original by Callee MacAulay from Toronto, Canada, and seen here) |
but I know I have a fickle heart
and a bitterness, and a wandering eye
and a heaviness in my head

but don't you remember?
don't you remember
the reason you loved me before?
baby, please remember me, once more
(from the loss album; adapted from unknown original, but seen on the Loving Awareness blog) |
I gave you the space so you could breathe
and I kept my distance so you would be free
and hope that you find the missing piece
to bring you back to me
(from the loss album; adapted from unknown original, but seen on the Test-Mistake blog) |
why don't you remember?
don't you remember
the reason you loved me before?
baby, please remember me once more
