Loving him is like Emdriving a new MaseGrati down a dead end stDreetA  
EmFaster than the wind
GPassionate as sin, ending so Csuddenly
Loving him is like Emtrying to change your mind
GOnce you're already flying through the Dfree fallA  
Like the Emcolors in autumn
GSo bright just before they Close it all
Losing him was Emblue like I'd never Gknown
Missing him was Ddark grey all aAlone
Forgetting him was Emlike trying to know someGbody you've never DmetA  
But loving him was EmredC  G  D
