i lay in bed as once again
til light shines in my room is when
my eyes open, slumber i rise
with cheeks still wet from tears i cry

worn out, asleep, is when i seek
for dreams, out far, yet so in reach
her touch i miss still burns like flames
yet now the fire of love brings shame

year by year, we both meet new
and yet to me, our love was true
her smile, her palms, would not meet mine
but yet to him, her eyes would shine

yet when our time grasps onto six
i wonder if it's me she'll pick
i wonder how our now 'came then
as i lay in bed once again
