Once Loved Twice Longed
She sees sea shells so
she says the ship's sailed,
but who's to say the waves
won't bring her back to shore?
They say that
if you can't sleep at night it's because
you're awake in someone else's dreams.
I speak with you in my dreams and
dream of you awake so how is it
you sleep so soundly?
They say that
letting go of something or someone
is the truest form of love—but tell me
If I'm like all the other selfish and
shallow men, why should I love so true?
Why should I love a love so pure?
She sees sea shells so
she says the ship's sailed
and I say adiós; from God you came
and to Him you'll return.
