Gone Are The Days

For too long my eyes have waited for your glance,

For too long I have waited to meet,

For too long I remembered the words to tell you,

For too long I have dwelt in memories.

If only I saw you, I would say,

If only we could meet,

If only we had some time,

If only we could stay.

I have regretted,

I have missed,

I have sinked deep,

I have weeped.

Now I don't wish I had you,

Now I don't want to repeat,

Now I don't want to think about,

Now I don't want to grieve.

Now for too long I have loved,

If only you cared,

Now I don't want you,

Let my life be unrepaired.

With you being away,

I have learnt; I have grown,

Grateful to all those

Who held me while you were gone.

You gave me birth

And left me for others to bear.

I do not love you,

It is the relation I love,

I do not want you,

Gone are those days.
