When the two of us parted,
Me in my silence,
& you in your tears.
Half brokenhearted,
we'd survive all these years.
Pale grew my face
& cold,
colder my kiss.
Truly I foretold that hour,
"Sorrow to this."
The chill of tomorrow,
I felt it that day-
who knows how?
It felt just like the Warning,
that I feel right now.
Our vows have been broken,
Burned In silence, and flames,
When I hear thy name spoken
I flounder in shame.
They know not how you knew me,
How you knew me so well.
Oh how long have I rue'd thee?
Too long and too deeply to tell.
T'was in secret we met,
so in silence I grieve.
If my heart could forget,
and my spirit deceive.
Then my heart would stand still and my soul would grow cold.
Then who's arms would I run to,
when In need of a hold.
And if ever I should meet thee,
After all these long years.
Tell me how should I greet thee?
With silence
And tears💔
