This is an "oldie but a goodie." A randomly jazzy piano/vocal song I wrote in 1997. Recorded it again recently for the heck of it. I like it, but beware: it's way different from most of my stuff.

Lyrics
PURE LOVE
Words and Music by Jake Niemi
Written September 10, 1997
Just when our love was making sense
You took my heart and went away with no regrets
And I have finally realized
How love tells its white lies, then kisses me goodbye
I?ve lived my life for someone
Who never understood my love
Holding back my deepest feelings
I know inside, they?ll always be
?Cause your love is pure love
Good love for me
Your love is true love
It?s why I still believe in love
?Cause I?m purely in love with you
Now you are holding someone new
And I?m left sad and blue, not knowing what to do
It started with ?I need you?
Those words of yours just seemed so true
A story too old for you to turn the page
To find a need that?s grown with age
(Chorus)
I keep stumbling over memories
The ones I swore I?d left behind
Good and bad, I see them clearly
But, ?right or wrong, I want to be with you?*
