Lost Forever

Silent Threnody


From the age of ten 
I remember your pretty smile 
I've missed you so within 
but can't talk you cause I'm too shy 

Many times I've tried but let it be 
wondering why cannot I speak 
And I'm hoping you could understand 

Your picture's on my desk 
that guarantees me peaceful rest 
The years have gone by fast 
but my love to you will always last 

Every day I yearn for being with you 
I'm stuck in constant pain and can't get thru 
and I'm praying you could understand 

Again, once again 
I fall in love with you 
and again, once again, 
I can't turn my head away from you 

Found the courage from my heart 
so I could now talk to you 
Far away from calm 
You told me I was just a pawn 

Burned your picture, stared the flame 
the tears are blinding me I am vain 
and see that you can't understand 

I lost you forever from my dreams 
but my heart burns in me longing free 
I need to see your beauty smile 
if I can't have you I'd prefer dying 
Every day I live in cry 

But every time I see your sparkling smile 
I can't turn my head away for awhile 
'cos I'm still hoping you would understand 

Again, once again 
I fall in love with you 
and again, once again, 
I can't turn my head away from you 

Again, once again 
I fall in love with you 
and again, once again, 

I could leave this all behind if you were mine 
Instead I've lost you forever why would I try
