I wish that it was possible
to ask you to come hold me now
to feel your kiss upon my brow
our love was once unstoppable
or at least so it seemed to me
back when you set my spirit free
I try to do what's practical
but there's no way I can forget
you were the best that I've had yet
back then our love felt tropical
but over time your heart went cold
I wish I'd never been so bold
my methods are not tactical
I am no good at trickery
you would easily see through me
a raging stream not crossable
I see you on the other side
now I just want to run and hide
you once made my heart feel so full
but suspicion and jealousy
drove you to pull away from me
our love had a magnetic pull
but my dark heart could not believe
that you could give yourself to me
if there but were a crucible
where I could melt your frozen heart
I'd never again let us part
is it in some way plausible
that we could work to fix our love
and once again be hand in glove
your love for me untraceable
I wish I had not let you go
I love you more than you can know
