I've never grown like I grew with you
You taught me all the things I thought I knew
You made them simple, all of life's little complexities
All I had to do was make you smile to be completely at ease

That very same smile now haunts my saddest dreams
Which flow through past images like video streams
You seem to be happy with your new man, have you really been with him a year?
Sorry if I seem surprised, but since you left, I can't get my thoughts clear

I feel like the Sidhe must have felt when the Celts turned to Christianity
I've moved beneath the earth because I don't feel whole without you believing in me
I dine on the remnants of the meal of our old relationship
And take the sweet wine of your remembered voice in small sips

But, I know that I'm not the only one that feels this level of pain
I know that it affects you too, just by the way you tactfully refrain
You've settled for someone who's just like me, but lacking passion
And I may have done the same, except that I have to fall in love, not compassion

With this knowledge apparent, I ask you, Who hurts the most?
You, having settled? Or me, alone and dining with your ghost?
I can't answer it, and see no reason to pursue it to no end
Just know that I still love you, and understand you just need time to mend
