I feel you in my heart

The future has always been so appeasing,

we knew right from the start

Now pillows in place of my love, so tightly squeezing,

I feel you in my heart

Wondering, questioning no one but my own darkening thoughts and fears

But my love is not lessening, a vibe from a click of oureyes, now full of tears

Desperation, sitting alongside exhaustion,

having lunch with hopelessness

Resisting urges to charge ahead without caution,

never could, nope unless

Everything we said and did was pretend,

and we were simply playing our part

If so, drop the curtain, show can end,

I’m still holding on, I feel you in my  heart

A Valentine of roses dreamt, growing here;

your smile beside me let the day start

The tomorrows that we talked about can appear,

oh! Babe I swear I feel you in my heart
