Love asks

Oh love, oh life, what agony,
Forever causing misery
When will it stop? Will it ever?
At least before my life is over

Is it the same for everybody?
Am I the only one unhappy?
Is it my fault I did not know?
What I desired or what to do?

I knew then what they say is true
We take for granted, we always do,
Those whom we should appreciate
Right there, right then, not when it’s late

I wish... but wishing, is it real?
Will it work?  Will it heal?
Will it bring back the love that’s lost?
Will pain be gone? Gone with its ghost

I pray and pray to be forgiven
For what I had or had not done
If it’s not me, then, why, oh why?
Did your love fade? That makes me cry

I know you really did love me
So how can you just ignore me?
It can’t be real, it can’t be true
Touch me and say you love me, too

My love, let’s give it another go
Our love’s too dear to trash or throw
Look back and see what we could lose
We can have more, something more precious

The four years that we spent together
Might not be great, not the best either
But we cannot simply surrender
We will be happy; we will get there

I only ask for your heart to listen
To open up and let me in
Together we can make it happen
You won’t regret it, not now, not then

The future looks so bright, it’s shining
It beckons, for us, it is waiting
Come, my love, come walk with me
We belong together, you and me
