I know you don’t love me, You care not what matters to me. For never did I wish to be yours, The thought was far from my heart.

To love you, hold you, protect you... Was all I wanted to give to you, Shall I find another – No, I’ve seen my future and know it well.

The lasting thing I want to know Is that you were there by my side. When the last thing I want comes my way, For this is all I have left to wait for...
