I believe
you are here to stay
or wait,
are you here to leave?
and why,
you never said
you loved me,
so why??
you never said
you needed me,
now why?!
Don't go away
please stay...
Forgive me,
I've been blind
forgive me
I will right
the wrong
if you stay,
if you don't go away,
I'll have the power to say
I love you
just stay...

One day you'll go
I cannot hold you
I know this only too well
One day you'll leave me,
You will leave behind
All that was dear to you -
Or so I hoped -
Just leave behind....

And perhaps
I will - one day -
Fall in love
With someone
Who needs my warmth....

But those lovely times
That we shared
Will never be blurred
Though maybe I will shed
a tear for them,
And, looking back in tears,
I'll see no beauty.
