You Cannot Be My Love

Can’t be my love

Can’t be my love. Can’t my drop
I needed, wished. I wished for love
Of you. From wished love. You dropped

Yes. A love. Honest. It's your shadow
Dark. But from my pure heart. Follow it
Following you. Followed you. Only love

Hmm. Unbelievable, your creation. I
I am honest at the right time, from your love
First time. But you took away. All my heart

One, all this love. You passed away far
My life has been robbed. Faraway desire
You don’t know my feelings. Depth to you

You are not alone. I will visit you. Alone
Will be placed. A little stone and a rose
On Sunday. On your stone. With love

With love, a rose
With a monogram, a gravel
To your gravestone

I loved you
Witness is
Teardrop
