The Agony of Love
Never meant to fall in love
wasn't meant for me
contentment existed in solitude
thought I was so free.
To dream of non-existent lands
imagined without limits
years could pass without a care
now I dread the minutes
All you did was lean your head
peered into your eyes
sweat appeared upon my brow
breathing, turned to sighs.
Can't clear you image off my mind
wishing, wanting you wrong
tremble when you're in my sight
lifeless, when you're gone.
Lost desire to travel far
only search for you
love stole my freedom away
no longer yearning distant view.
Love for you hard to explain
away there's vast emptiness
when you're near seem to glow
floating along in true happiness.
Living to keep warm and fed
honor and protect you'll see
the only thing I'm living for
hear you say, 'you love me'.
