Your eyes your smile they please me so
Like jewels they shine and light my day
Oh no, don’t say you have to go
For it will hurt my love, please stay
You said our love would last forever
Don’t go away don’t make me scream
I hoped, I thought we’d be together
My love is real, you are so mean
I toss I turn I hug my pillow
Oh, won’t you hold me in the night?
I feel just like a weeping willow
Don’t turn away, don’t start a fight
I feel the sweat run down my brow
They meet my tears just like a stream
I shake, my eyes are open now
Oh joy! it was but just a dream
I turn to you and hold you tight
You did not fly away my dove
Oh what a scare, oh what a fright!
You are with me, you are my love
By Dante, dedicated to Daevina
