Love Be Not a Fool

My heart yet longs for
Thee to hold my hand
Take me to another world
Distance between us stings
Still my love refuses any other
Though time plays it's wicked tricks
Love remains yours the same

As they turn 
He looks back to see
A single teardrop fall upon my cheek
His smile fades 
Onward the miles stretch

Heartbeats stop 
Two become one 
Even as they leave
Both feel just one heartbreak
As the other makes life go on

Their hated separation
Is only for a short while
Though the thought is for Eternity.
For neither distance nor time
Can change love's mind
Love, be not a fool.
