I write every word
With hope
That you will read it
One day

It will be my chance
To explain
To show you
How it really felt

To see you radiant
To make you smile
To feel for one second
You were only mine

The rays of your love
That never fade
Your hand in my hand
Your kiss on my hair

The world unaware
Was of it all
The nights brought the passion
The days promptly stole

Without the words
Conversation flowing
But we failed in the end
To keep it going
