I'm sure I said I loved you hundreds of years ago.

But you forgot, and I can't remember either.

I'm sure I said I loved you hundreds of years ago.

But you forgot, and I can't remember either.

I've walked by, passed through, and never met you.

I turn around, and it's still wrong.

You and I never felt it, we collided at the street corner.

Your mom didn't tell you.

Everything was going fine today.

The lover has just missed out.
