I once held my tongue, afraid to confess

The love I felt for you, and the tenderness

A year went by, and your love began to fade

But then you sent a messenger, to parade

Your heart, still beating for me, a love so true

But I, in foolish pride, refused to renew

Your affection, doubting your fragile frame

Blinded by fears, I played with love’s sweet name

Little did I know, you were heaven-sent

A gift, a treasure, a love, so bent

On saving me, from my own darkest night

But I rejected, your loving light

Now, love’s a luxury, hard to find

And you, my dear, are nowhere to be aligned

Even if you were, would you take my hand?

After I rejected, your love’s sweet stand?

The price I pay, for my foolish past

Is a heart, that’s heavy, a love, that won’t last

For I know, I let go, of a love so real

And now, I’m left, with a heart that must conceal

The tears, the pain, the longing, the grief

For a love, that was, but now, is just a relief

Oh, how I wish, I could turn back time

To embrace your love, and make it all mine.
