Never

​

I never felt so alive
as when I was by your side,
and I never felt so loved
as when I was in your arms.
The whole, wide, weary world
was just a dreary, distant dream
whenever I felt your heart
beating next to mine.

I held you only for a moment in time,
a season sublime, and then you were gone.
Now our song, a sweet, simple melody,
no longer sings in harmony.

And when I thought I was finally over you
I heard your voice once again,
calling from a distance, from memories
that haunted me, that taunted me
from the hollow heart of hope
that once lived and never died.
