I want to be the one who holds your heart again
It was me at the start, can it be at the end?
I held it close, gave it warmth and love
Heard it sing sweeter than the morning's dove

You took your heart away, held it at arm's length
How you did I don't know, how'd you find the strength?
How do you share it with no one to give it to?
Or have you given it now to someone new?

Light of my life, without your heart I'm alone
Since being with you, see how my heart has grown?
And now, when we can finally be together
You take your heart away, the ties you now sever

Come back to me gentle bird once more
Let our hearts again walk along that shore
There's one thing that I ask before your heart grows dim
Please. . . don't give it to. . .

wonderfully romantic plea, it is. If she doesn't come back, she's not worthy of your love!

Oh Sven, this is so painfully sad. A beauty though as always.

Well done Sven...sometimes the other half just fails to see what they already have...
don't give up though...always another out there just waiting for you to come along.

Enjoyed the read
