Passion

As the sea longs for its shore
then so it is my heart which aches for you
May just as careless be my kiss;
for it will never be enough to only say
- “I love you”

Bittersweet

As I am caught
between a smile and a tear
How is comfort enough to know
you loved me once
When why is never enough to say
- “I love you still.”

Heartless

Good bye my heart –
As you were all I had to give
Was it not enough to need you more
That I leave you in the arms
- of the one I love
