Keep expecting to see

An email addressed to me

With words of love and understanding

And not always crying

Over things that never were

But should have I to consider

When once you told me

Over the line so faintly

That you loved me

And my heart was so merry

But life is so cruel, I ponder

And we are left to wonder

Why we are always dealt the bitters

And this sorrow that always hovers

For in our hearts we wonder

Why love never really gets stronger

But abandoned altogether

For illusions we prefer

Why is it she loves me and I love you

And you love him who loves her too

Ever running round and round

When finally it could be sound

And all the words and notes

Never seem to float

Across the ocean to you

For you must admit it true

That no matter what people say,

Our souls have touched, nay?

And forever I will be

Here for you, you see?

But love is and we are

For some time afar

And if I am prepared to wait

It is because I know out straight

That one day we will be

Together in eternity
