How long? How long I ask.........
must I suffer this unending torment
everyday, I can't escape
the thought of you
You're there when I wake, when I fall asleep
when I wake at 3am...........it's you

Betrothed to others we shall never
taste one another's kiss
but I have felt your sweet arms as you pulled me close
and made my heart your instant captive

I have seen the look in your eyes
and what you said to me
I shall never forget either
for you showed me what I wondered was even possible
in my own heart or in this earthly life

You made me believe
but then walked away
making me wonder if it would have been better
to have never known at all
the most passionate love I have ever felt

How long I ask.......
til I breathe no more.
