You said you wanted me, but when I
knocked on your door, there was no answer.
When I called you, the phone kept ringing.
When I used to hold you, I held you forever.
When we kissed, our lips melded. When I
caressed you, your moans were unending.
When we made love, there was no stopping.
Now my tears are like rain, my heart is a
storm, the sky is black. Where did you go?
What happened to us? My life is pitch dark.
Where did you go? My life is over.
