MELODY OF SORROW
I just found an old poem
That I once wrote for you
I'll add it to the rest of the pile
Of dreams that never came true
To be without love is a lonely place
But it's not worth waking up
With someone in the morning
Just to see someone else's face
She said either she's too old
Or I'm too young
When I told her she was the one
So our song of love was never sung
And now this melody of sorrow I softly hum
Age is just a number
That should come second to your heart's hunger
She told me I was born too late
When she asked me about my age
I asked her about fate
Just snap your fingers
Say the word
And I'll give my life to you
You've seen my eyes and felt my love
You know these words I speak are true
I've walked a winding road
To find the light ahead
I've done all that I can do
I've offered you my heart
Poured my soul on the ground
The rest is up to you
And if you tell me no
I will write once again
As I will be happy if you just be my friend
Captured in rhyme your memory will live on
As you will be remembered long after you're gone
With or without you
I will have to be strong
If it is not meant to be
This will just be a song
And now this melody of sorrow
I softly hum
