Wash You Away

I wish to god this day meant nothing to me
That there were enough minutes and miles between us
To sever whatever makes the dreams come
I tell myself it wasn't love, merely fantasy
Neither of us is who we were back then
If you passed me on a crowded street
I'd be nothing but a vaguely unnerving deja vu
How could I mean more than a fleeting thought
When I was so easily abandoned 
But the fact remains my heart is stained
Try as I may I can't wash you away
Everything played out the way that it had to
Time and distance proved I wouldn't change a minute
Not one I spent with you or since you
I only wish my heart would unfurl
The pain would float on like a mote in the rain
Wash away, wash away all the questions unanswered
So these memories would cease to torment me
And I could simply remember you as a beautiful truth
