Phantom Love

Was it the love phantom to ease my pain                                                            
The wind brushed my shoulder like your soft hair                                          
Letting go of your memory I do not fain                                                               
or was it just the summer night’s warm air                                        
The wind brushed my shoulder like your soft hair Was the love phantom gone or just in my mind Hearing echoes, of your lovely voice but I despair Looking but I cannot see you am I going blind
Was the love phantom gone or just in my mind Your sweet scent it is not there, am I going mad My lips feel a tingle, with love so intertwined The moments, before I opened my eyes, I was glad
but the sweet scent it is not there, I am going mad Was it the love phantom to ease my pain, in the moments, before I opened my eyes I was glad, of your memory but letting go, I do not fain
