When I Am Blue

it is only when I am blue
that I think about how I lost you
a love doomed from the start
no room for me in your heart

it is only when I am blue
I think how you pursued
kisses in a winter night
passion you contrived

it is only when I am blue
I think of love untrue
what will never be
why it escaped me

today, I am blue
and I'm thinking of you
