I won’t fill the hole, I don’t need a spade,

My love for her will never fade,

I was full of emotional wealth,

Felt so alive, full of health,

Although I’ve been torn apart,

Forever there will be a vacancy in my heart,

A void impossible to fill,

I won’t even try, never will,

I could go out and find myself a clone,

Instead I will live my life, totally alone,

Never again to look into her eyes, at her face,

The feelings I will not be able to replace,

It’s not what she did say, it’s what she never said,

That leaves my heart dead,

Yes, she did say "I love you" to me,

But at the time she could not see,

She was confused, an emotional mess,

I probably added to her stress,

I thought it meant more than it did,

So I opened myself up, laid out my emotional bid,

My love led me astray, I was wrong,

I was listening to the wrong song,

It is her for whom I still love and care,

A love she will never be able to compare,

The full extent of my love, I never got to show,

As her feelings did not grow,

She will never be out of my mind,

As there are no others, she is one of a kind,

Now I embark on my life of emptiness,

I hope it’s not all in vain, I pray she finds happiness,

No matter what I say, I don’t know why,

My love for her will never die.
