You used to call me beautiful.Gave me gifts no one else would treasure.To me, you knew, they were worthMore than gold.You used to hold me.Take my face in your hands andlook deep in my soulto watch my heart melt.We basked in life's trivialities,The complete perfection of ordinary things.Before I had a chance to tell you,Before I even knew myself,Duty calls and you leave me.I know it's nothing personal,But still my faith cries.Awaiting your impossible return...
