Apart, each day my heart would
bleed, you were a world away,
I prayed for God to bring you
back to me. My love for you grew
And grew, steadfast and true.
The call was grave, I should have
known, all too soon I was alone.
faith wane, emotions would rise and
fall, you said that I must accept,
that you might not return at all.
My lonely heart crumbling in remorse,
you had set sail on a separate course.
I roam a house where passion lived,
your words to me, you had no more
to give.
I faced our friends with mounting shame,
they would not believe that I was not
the blame. Yet, I had nothing to prove,
it was you, not I, whose love had been
removed.
She could never love you the same as
I, no not in a thousand years, though
she may try. Yet, after all these years I
am on my own, sad, heartbroken and
alone.
Hold on dear heart I tried to persuade,
there will be other nights and other
days. I will find love from happier
men, who will bring ecstasy when our
hearts blend.
Therefore, my far away love, my world did
not end, I flourish, I have new friends.
I am sorry to hear that she left you for
another, yet I am blessed, while you now
live in your self-made world of loneliness
