I loved you once this I know,
I love you now though I don't let it show.
Will I love you forever this I don't know,
One thing I do know this love never had a chance to grow.
All we need was to be together for longer,
To watch our love grow much stronger.
Why did we suffer all this pain,
It would be easier to start over again.
That euphoric love we had I threw away,
I sustained the lie for too many a day.
This is the cross that I must bear,
As at your picture I sit and stare.
For my sweet love I had my chance,
Surprised you gave me a second glance.
Forever friends we will be I want to stay,
What happens next we shall see one day.
The day we meet my love to shout,
All the love inside I will let it out.
My feelings no longer do I need to hide,
The day I ask you to be my bride.
