To You

I sing the song of love
  never once revealing your name,
  hiding in shadows,  ashamed of loving you
  when your vow was to another.
It is in the darkness i embrace you
  hold you pressed to my heart
  breathing in your scent
  and loving you unconditionally.
I wish i knew better
  but love doesn't choose
  does it?
Whisper goodbye in my ear
  make your way out of the room
  never look back.
If you go away
  then stay - stay away
  without goodbye, just go.
To you,
  let all else pass
  and only memory survive.
