briefest of moments

for the briefest of moments
the feeling was real
i had love in my heart
and you had my will

for the briefest of moments
i felt i was blessed
this emotion for you
proved stronger than the rest

for the briefest of moments
the words to the songs
telling of devotion
were all sing-a-longs

for the briefest of moments
i had myself fooled
and tortured myself
after your passion cooled

yet the real tragedy
wasn't the ending of we
but in the briefest of moments
when i
had lost
me
