I Can Still Feel

I can still feel your sweet breath oh so
close to me that I want to cry.

I can still feel your strong embrace
that always kept me safe and warm.

I can still feel the surge of passion flow
through me when our lips met.

I can still feel your gentle hands upon
me when I needed the comfort.

But I will no longer be able to feel all those things,
because you chose to be with her over me.

So now at night when I know the two of you lay in each other’s arms,
I lay alone with only my memories of us to keep me warm.
