Lost In the Masquerade of Love- Please Remember Me

Will you please remember me...
as you go about your life
     Or...
as I often wonder 
     was I ever really felt within your heart? 

Your love...had me suspended -
      held captive 
like a stranger in my own mind 

     Even though-I never meant to leave you...
how could I have stayed 
     when you turned our love into such a masquarade?

How would we - have ever been able to stay in that kind of love?
     How could we - have made any of our dreams come true?
 
Now... 
     All the hopes and dreams I thought we shared
are memories tucked away -tucked way down deep inside my heart
     locked away in a watery grave of unshed tears

And so...
     If you ever remember me -
I hope there are a few good times you can look back on
     because - I really did care
I guess the question is...
     did You?

What was it...that was cast so cruelly upon our fate?
      We were never really very good together
But...
      I was afraid to say goodbye -even though you betrayed me so 

     You still...
dawdle around in the recesses of my mind -like crazy little cyclones spinning round -
     drenching my heart with droplets of liquid tears
leaving me...
    with the sad memory of a love
that only I had for you - 
    Not you for me
A love that was never meant to be

    And still...
even though we're miles apart
    I cry out...
"Please - stop cluttering up my heart"!

   Now-
as you travel on in your life...
   will you please take a bit of me with you. because I never wanted to leave you
Yet -
   I could see no other way
because...
   I was so lost in the masquarade of your love
