My Heart Aches For You
MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
By now, you may have forgotten me
Yet every where I look, it’s you I see
Never to see you again, my nightmarish plight
So I visit our old haunts, night after night
In hopes you’ve returned to fulfill my dream
You and I together, anew, my hope filled scheme
Friends encourage me to find someone new
But, day after day, my heart pines for you
I still frequent the place, where we first met
Love was in the air, romance in bloom, and yet
I silent, hiding my feelings day after day
Remained muted, when I had so much to say
That, I idolized you: and wanted you for my own
Being near you gave me feelings I’d never known
I might find those moments with someone new
But, day after day, my heart yearns for you
I gather with our friends, they speak of you
Unaware of the anguish, I’m going through
Remaining silent doomed me to quiet reveries
Imaginary moments, together, anxious to please
Wonder if she ever thought of me as her lover
She beguiled my senses, I may never recover
I might find peace with someone new
But, day after day, my heart aches for you
