Always

@Uootem

One heartbeat spent together,
        the next we were not to be,
              when in love hearts beat so fast,
                      and are never again to be free.
Memories of you are still here,
        are memories of me still there,
              or has fate left me here so cruel,
                      and only I alone am left to care.
Every time I looked at you,
        I got lost in the promise of your eyes,
              now I spend my days in futile believing,
                      in my self-concocted lies.
But if I lost hope that you will someday return
        My faith in life would surely be destroyed,
              and that I could not bear to face,
                      because no one else
                              could ever take your place.
If ever you are lonely,
        and need a caring heart,
              I'll always be there for you,
                    Just let me know where.
Now as this poem runs its course
        I hope it's made a start,
              to let you see that you are loved,
  and always in my heart.
