Why do I think of you ever so often?
Why are you always on my mind?
Like the love of my life, my heart you soften,
In you my peace I may find.

You linger in my head when I’m at my weakest,
You assure me that my pain will fade,
The hole that life leaves in my heart is the deepest,
Is it carved with a knife or is it a blade?

Why is it so hard to get to you?
When I fail you, is it right or wrong?
I long for your kisses but I’m scared of you,
I’m scared that I might not like your song.

Your scent loiters when I’m smiling,
Your hands grip me in the air of melancholy,
Fantasies of you keep piling,
And your affection gives off the illusion of being jolly.

I’m unsure of when we’ll ever meet,
You frequent in my mind,
But maybe without you, my life will finally be sweet,
And happiness I shall find.
