I Wish I Could Forget You

Fosca, it will be light soon
I should be going
Would you do me a great favor before you leave?
Would you write a letter for me?
Certainly

My dearest Fosca
Please
'My dearest Fosca'
I wish I could forget you
Erase you from my mind
But ever since I met you
I find, I cannot leave the thought of you behind
That doesn't mean I love you
That doesn't mean I love you
I wish that I could love you

I know that I've upset you
I know I've been unkind
I wanted you to vanish from sight
But now I see you in a different light
And though I cannot love you
I wish that I could love you

For now I'm seeing love like none I've ever known
A love as pure as breath, as permanent as death
Implacable as stone
A love that, like a knife, has cut into a life
I wanted left alone
A love I may regret, but one I can't forget

I don't know how I let you so far inside my mind
But there you are and there you will stay
How could I ever wish you away?
I see now I was blind

And should you die tomorrow
Another thing I see
Your love will live in me
I remain... Your Giorgio
