“One Year”


I sit here lonely and depressed.
I can’t see her.  I’m so distressed.
My love has left behind no trace.
It’s been long since I’ve seen her face.

Please Lisa, just come to my side.
There is nothing I have to hide.
Can’t you see the sorrow in me?
I am as lonely as can be.

It’s been one year since I saw you.
I never proved that I was true.
But I sit here in agony.
Please, Lisa.  Plase come and save me.

I have nothing in life to show.
I sit lonely like a dark crow.
I’m a lost soul looking for you.
If I can’t find you, then I’m through.

Since graduation, I’ve missed you.
Lisa, you’ve left me in the blue.
It’s true that you never liked me.
I see something when there’s nothing.

For one year, I’ve been so lonely.
For one year, you’re not there for me.
Please come, Lisa ?????; I need you.
I can’t help it, but I love you.

I cannot help it.....  I love you.
