Tears from my aching heart

Flood my soul with sorrow.

I know naught of today

Or even if there is tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow can hold no promise

And very little hope.

Memories are our refuge

They keep alive our soul.

 

For us there is no tomorrow

The future no longer exists.

But the life we had together

Was filled with total bliss.

 

Let us not be bitter

As our time together ends.

Let us end it as we started,

Not as lovers, but as friends.

 

Love shall always fill my heart

With a longing for that that cannot be.

But the thought that will live forever —

I loved you and you loved me.
