THE LOST LOVER

Here I wait patiently, in this familiar place
This place of tranquility and sweet and warm embrace.

here I wait reluctantly, I've been here once before
It holds me here subductively I cannot close the door

here I wait foolishly, though I know it's wrong,
My eyes do not choose to see that what once was is gone

so here I wait patiently but it's plain to see
I'm waiting for a love that never again will be.
