I repeat myself.

My whispers of love to you

fade into the night.

I can't remember

the joyful dreams of my youth.

Please God, bring them back.

I cast a quick glance

at the beauty of your form.

Won't you meet my gaze?

I have been made small

by others, but I need not

keep myself that way.

I still dream of you.

At night the thrill of your touch

Is everlasting.

Regrets I carry

are lost in your gentle love

which brings my heart peace.

How can I seduce

one whose former flame's photo

is their wallpaper?
