If I were to write a song for you
it would I think... be written in my tears.
For the love I feel is Oh so deep
It has now been... for many a year.
It would play out a tune... of the pain I so deeply felt
since, you went away.
It would also carry... in its notes not inked
the words my heart just couldn't then...to you say.
I think if the world were to hear it
they... would know just how I feel.
The world might even cry along with me
as they hummed the tune... of noted pain so real.
I know that I will never have your love
for you have given it to another I see.
But if I could go back in time
would your love then... have been given just for me?
If I could write a song for you
well, that is not my given of gifts.
But please know my darling... that I will always love you
if only in poetic words... such as this.
