Can't forget

We can say that our lives will go on, maybe even carry forever.
My eyes, my poor eyes, shame on you to make them cry.
You made them cry when you left and said never.
You said goodbye and my life has been like on fire.
Like on fire and i don't know how much more i can say.
The love we had, the love we made, I still see your desire.
The desire in your eyes through which i could see all things at last.
All things at last were possible until you turned off the future.
You turned off the future but you cannot turn off the past.
I will not forget the past and the memories i hold.
