I adore you,
But I don't know what you're about.
I dream of you,
Bon reves, cheri.

When you asked me,
A glimmer of relief.
Exactly what I was talking about;
I thought it might be a cruel hoax.

I fell so hard,
You knocked me down.
The forbidden romance,
Tender sentiments hidden all around.

He made me smile.
A tired life, now shaken.
No longer in denial,
We've had our run.

A vulnerable heart lies broken.
I can't believe it's true.
Is there nothing unspoken?
In three frantic words, I've lost you.

I can't quite see right now,
But I'm compelled to write.
I lie down, and feel you pull me,
Into the deepest, darkest night.

You draw me in,
Everything leads to you.
I breathe, (breathing begins)
I still miss you.

You turned.
A summer lost,
A winter learned.
At what cost?
