You are not mine to love
Yet I search for your gaze
In every stranger's eyes
A haunting, silent maze

You drift in distant dreams
While I linger in the past
In my twilight hours
I'll call for you through time
Remember me, I asked
In the shadows of the night
No heart has matched your warmth
No soul has known your light

I'll wander through the silence
Through the echoes of our rhyme
In this time, I let you go
But I'll seek you in next lifetime

When they ask me where I am
In thoughts that drift like smoke
I picture your gentle smile
In dreams that I evoke
Years of hidden longing
Forgive me, I was blind
You deserved a love like fire
A treasure so divine

You've found another's arms
And I pray you found your peace
May joy be your companion
May your sorrow find release

Ten years have slipped like water
Still waiting for the sign
A promise lost in twilight
A memory lost in time

Years of hidden longing
Forgive me for my blindness
You deserved a love like fire
A treasure wrapped in kindness

I love you still, my dear
Though the years have come and gone
You dwell within my spirit
In the essence of my songs

I hope you find your happiness
And a light that guides you home
If our paths should cross again
I'll be waiting
In the great unknown

In this life, I let you go
But in the next, I'll right the wrong
