Little by little ...

Little by little I give up this love for you
This 'thing' that only you and I witnessed
that we gave a life to
nurtured and cherished
then abandoned

Little by little I give up this dream of you
This song that only you and I knew the words to
this music we danced out
our mystical dances
till we fell out of step

Little by little I give up this love for you
This want and this fire, this burning desire
for something not mine
little by little
I give it all up
