My heart still cries for you,
It still waits for you;
My love still lingers
Knowing that only you can hold it;
My smiles are at the memory of you,
The memory of your taste, your smell;
My soul waits incomplete
Trying to recall your kiss;
My mind speaks differently
But my ears won’t hear it,
And logic must take its leave
Because it is no longer welcomed;
My eyes see only what my heart lets it,
As if it were the sun covered by clouds;
My reality knows the pain of your absence,
It knows the pain of unrequited longing;
And even if I could change it all,
Redo each moment,
I would change none
And remain undone
