For as long as I live

For as long as I live,
I will love to hate you.
We always toasted the romance with sweet wine,
Now let us swallow the bitterness in our wine of love.

For as long as I live,
You will be a loving stranger to me,
A few moments we shared together,
Will haunt us in our memories.

For as long as I live,
Your smile has scarred my heart,
The depth of love in our hugs and kisses,
Would be missed in our sweet night dreams.

For as long as I live,
Separation from you will depress my spirits,
When I will admire the moon in the dark skies,
I will feel so close to you even when I will be very far away.

When being betrayed by the loved one, it is natural to feel miserable. However memories will arise of the sweet time spent together dipping one into bitterness and longing. Congratulations on your great win dear Jay.

Jay, your sentiments are written from a heart that has bled tears of sorrow. It made mine ache with memories of my own lost love. But… congratulations on its contest placement.
