All alone I am, with just my fantasies
Feeling the pain of love newly gone
Walking the beach where we met
~~*~~
humming with the ocean’s song
Stepping into her tides for a cool change
Hoping to wash away this unrequited ache
How long do I have to pay the price
~~*~~
for my foolishness, my open heart
Everyday, my strength comes back
Reading your letters is a saving grace
Though you’re no longer here with me
~~*~~
I feel you here, and I remember love
When it was a treasure worth saving
The tender embraces, the long slow kisses
Nights when all you wanted was to
~~*~~
Take me as close to heaven as you could
And days when my comfort was your goal
I shall keep these memories as my fee
For I have paid the price for loving you
~~*~~
