Lingering Love

Its been a while now,
and I still don't know how,
but you just wont leave my mind,
and the pain sure isn't kind,

I've never known someone quite like you,
that much I'm sure is true,
where you kind words helped me see,
that there was something good left of me,

but I was never sure,
how could you say you loved someone so torn,
someone who was broken and frail,
how could that love have set sail,

I helped you heal,
and you helped me feel,
that there was someone who loved me,
that much I could see,

but yet we've been apart,
and you still wont leave my heart,
and what is real I'll never know,
Because I'm not sure these feelings will ever go.
