I'll Never Love This Way Again

I am very old fashioned when it comes to love. I am actually amazed and even a little jealous of people who fall in and out of love with such ease. If only I could do that, I guess I won’t be happy but I definitely would be escaping to the illusion of happiness. But I can’t! When love ends, no other love is quite the same and to claim you love someone just the same is so false. In that vein this song by Dionne Warwick is one of my favourites.

You looked inside my fantasies
And made each one come true,
Something no one else
Had ever found a way to do.
I've kept the memories one by one,
Since you took me in;
And I know I'll never love this way again.

I know I'll never love this way again,
So I keep holdin' on before the good is gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

A fool will lose tomorrow
Reaching back for yesterday;
I won't turn my head in sorrow
If you should go away.
I'll stand here and remember
Just how good it's been,
And I know I'll never love this way again
