My Heart May Never Mend

Sung to the tune ~ Candle in the Water from Pete's Dragon You'll never know how much I love you You've never thought of me that way I can't go on concealing What my heart is feeling Emotions I have longed to convey You'll never know how much I love you Or that I dream of you each night With your arms closed around me Finally, you found me Where the stars are always shining bright And then the morning light surrounds me I reach for you and find that you're not here I'll wish that one day you will love me Ever just a friend My heart may never mend You'll never know how much I love you I can't admit how much I care I'm hoping soon, by some chance we will share a romance In dreams I never feel despair As stars shine like a flare I'll always find you there I'll always find you there I'll always find you there December 16, 2021 To the tune of - Musicals - Part One Contest Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon Sponsored by Natasha L Scragg **************************

A beautiful, moving and emotional song Lin. Your lyrics perfectly match your chosen tune. Candle on the water is a song about love, loss and hope and your words tie in well with this feeling. Thank you for sharing your song and for entering the contest. Congrats on your placement. :-D

I can relate, Lin. So many times when I was young. 18 schools in 12 years. Had to leave so much love, much of it one sided. It's sometime hard to believe I could love again and again. I'm so thankful for the gift of Love that has blessed me. Thank for sharing your heartfelt poetry with us, Your friend, Bill

Such a disappointment when the one you have feelings for doesn't share the same views. Good luck in the contest Lin, hope your day is going well. Tom

O wow! I really like this, Lin. I have known these feelings in my life, so I could relate. It is so sad when we are deeply in love with someone and it is not returned, or it is returned only with friendship. Then, I think, we have to be happy with what we feel alone.

We have no choice other than to remain friends, as difficult as it may be. There's such heartache in an unrequited love...Thank you so much, Milt.
