Once again she crosses my mind
Like a phantom crossing an alleyway
She appears when I'm nearly at peace
Tormenting me from years gone by
Never letting me forget my mistakes
She's always there in the back of my mind
Waiting, Hoping for a moments solace
That's when she emerges
From the depths of my memory
Reminding me of choices I've made
Of the life we should have today
Never alone, I live with the ghost
Of the one I let slip away
