You look in my eye,
And tell me you love me.
And then you say goodbye.
And then you leave me lonely.
When you will return,
This I know.
It's when your heart shall return,
Is what I really want to know.
I know you love me.
And yet you say,
That we shouldn't be "we".
Not as much anyway.
Why this is so,
I guess I just don't see.
Why you must go,
And leave me.
You will return.
You always do.
But when is what I yearn,
Because I'll always love you.
You said I was your world,
But not your life.
But if just you would,
See through my eyes.
See the hurt that I see
The hurt that I feel,
When you love me so distantly.
It makes your love seem not so real.
Maybe I'm taking this all wrong,
And your love is still there,
Just like always, nice and strong.
And maybe it's just because you're not here.
Do you really want to become less,
More of me and you,
Instead of us?
Maybe then you could say what's true.
I know you love me,
You love me, as much as I love you.
And you'll love me steadily,
And always be true.
If this isn't so,
I'd like to you to tell,
To let me know,
So I can see where my love fell.
