Love Always

Been thinking about you every day,
dreaming about you every night,
haunted by the dull, aching pain,
I may never love anyone again

The days are fair,
strolling languidly along The Strand
The Pacific is pale blue,
gently giving and taking sand

He's calm like the horizon,
clear and simple like the water,
reminds me of my handsome father
We spend hours together

But gazing into his kind eyes,
thoughts navigate back in time
to when you lit my soul alight

I know my heart can't always burn for you,
but right now an ember of hope stays
Until it's gone no element can soothe
the pain that comes from loving you always

He's calm like the horizon,
clear and simple like the water,
reminds me of my handsome father
We spend hours together

But gazing into his kind eyes,
thoughts navigate back in time
remembering the laughter and delight

I know my heart can't always burn for you,
but right now an ember of hope stays
Until it's gone no element can soothe
the pain that comes from loving you always
