The last time that I dropped a tear
So long a time ago
A tear of sadness shows its feel
She's gone that's all I know
Ten years expire gave up on love
Content in who I am
I changed the focus of my life;
The blood of Christ the lamb
Am on to concert at our church;
Believers of the Cross
My heart is pierced by limbate eyes
Tongue tied and at a loss
Go out to eat with friends that night
Large table, chairs were full
Except for one right next to her;
Excite me for the cull
I looked into blue bordered dreamy eyes
A tear of joy; no longer in disguise
