I cherish no one
As I've cherished you.
And from the beginning
My heart has been true.
I've known all this time
That I really was free
Yet I have stood silent
And loved faithfully.
Even at times
When you pulled away
I stood devoted
With no desire to stray.
I'd rather be alone
Forelorn and remiss
With the lingering memories
Of your final kiss.
Than to try to start over
With someone new
They would never understand...
There's only you.
