Gone With the Wind

Love, when I confessed my love you turned away, 
turned to another, I have no will left to stay. 
Your words they crushed me I could never know why. 
Can't you love me like you love her, over you I cry. 
The other men, they never knew me, never could understand. 
As we were friends, couldn't you love with a ring on your hand. 
My eyes are red and weary, tell me what is really inside. 
Do you love me like a lover, or shall I wither as I have died. 
tell me now, what can I do to have your affectionate embrace. 
Tell me what I can change, and all the trouble I will erase. 
Tell me Love... 

Friend, when you professed your love, I had to turn away, 
I gave my ring to another therefore I could not stay 
My mind was a mess, it was being put to the test 
You had me impressed. feelings I could not digest 
Your love overheard. my heart had been stirred 
No way I could go back on my solemn word 
All the night my tears fell, thinking of what I had lost 
Only wonders of the line I should have crossed 
My heartbeat has dimmed, not wanting to live 
Seeking for a lover, a life to give 
I beg of you dear, stay close, don't disappear 
To you I swear, my love for you is clear 

By the triangle of love, each to his own has sinned. 
And the lonliness of longing heart, gone with the wind.
