It’s been so long since I have written for
The sake of writing—something bright and new—
And specially for you, my paramour,
Because I think a poem’s long past due.
What can I say to tell you how I feel,
When my words seem to fail me every time?
With you I simply long to be for real,
But then the world comes crashing through my mind.
This whirlwind life that we are living in
Saps all my energies against my will
Just don’t forget, dearheart, that deep within
I love you, love you, ever, ever, still.
Forget me not when all around us falls
For I, without you, feel as hard as stone.
With you, I choose to tear down all the walls,
To keep myself for you, and you alone.
