How Can I?

How can I say
it was nothing
but a dream
when everytime
I close my eyes
I see you
I touch you
and I quiver?

How can I tell myself
let go of this folly
when you've given new meaning
to my dormant passions
and rekindled the spark
of a slumbering rapture?

And how can I
hold on to this feeling
knowing there's no tomorrow
and the rain won't fall
to wash away the pain
in my jaded heart?

How can I forget
the miserable aftermath
of that single indiscretion
when you loom
larger than life
in my anguished horizon?

How can I?
