II

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.

You may not understand,
But life sheds not a word on my part,
Nor does it notice me when I fall.
My life is gone,
My desires have faded to dust.

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...
