Seeing You Again

 

I looked up

And saw you standing there

Watching me.

 

It was strange,

But after all the pain

I felt only joy.

 

I could have laughed,

I could have cried.

But all I did was stare.

 

You sat down beside me

And I wanted to love.

I wanted only to love.

 

Your knee touched with mine

As you spoke to me.

Why do you torture me so?

 

Your gaze buries itself

Inside my mind

To live forever.

 

You touch my hand

And I fight not to melt

Within your bosom.

 

I am cold outside

But I cry inside

Waiting for the good-bye.

 

You've got nothing new to say

And so, you go away.

You simply go away.

 

Isn't it strange

That after all the pain

I see you again

 

It's love that I feel.

It's joy, it's desire, it's fear.

But it's not hate.

 

You've got nothing new to say.

God help me for loving you,

But you've got nothing new to say.
