All it was was make-believe
A foolish longing for empathy
Harmony we never achieved
We spent all summer together
Talking, laughing, hand in glove
We promised each other moon and stars
Swore on our deathless love
None of this ever happened
I never knew you at all
What worth "forever and a day" now?
You knew the day would never come
And in fall, when we parted
We promised to keep in touch
I never got a single letter
Though I wrote to you so much
None of this ever happened
None of this will ever come back
When we spoke and loved together
Did you realize the lack?
In the bitter cold of winter
Memories recur in vain
My body withers and shrinks
Now I'm all alone again
None of this ever happened
