Lost

My darling, can you hear me
As I whisper in your ear?
Can you tell I've left my thoughts
Behind, to always keep you near?
Can you feel the shiver
Of a thought that brushed your arm?
Oh, please do not be scared!
It would never do you harm.

I only want to see you,
Make your smile paint your eyes
A happy, playful glow
that brings envy to the skies.
I just want to be with you,
So that I might hear your voice,
Seclusion is not an option
if you would only make a choice.

A choice to make me happy,
But if that won't make you stay
Then I'm afraid I'd have to leave
Myself behind to play
With the sadness and the tears
That will wash away my face,
To erase all loving memory
And leave plain sorrow in your place.

I want to start anew
But in losing love I know
That the sorrow was much sweeter
When your heart could touch my soul.
