No matter the season 

No matter the day

I sit and I think of you

Very deeply I’d say

Down deep in my heart 

Not quite the same way

You see it’s been broken

And you’re so far away

But darling I hold you

Right here in my arms

The way that I used to

Sensing all of the charms

That we used to taste

On the tips of our tongues

Such a sizzle we made

When we two had fun

The way that we laughed

And oh how we cried

We both pledged our love

Until the day that we died

So how could it be

That I’d ever forget

My greatest of loves

Who brings the torrent

Of tears to my eyes

Who squeezes my heart

Until I cannot breathe

Until my every part

Trembles then shakes

Oh I’m torn asunder

Longing only for you

The lightning and thunder

To my violent storm

You keep rolling in

Out of the blue 

You prickle my skin

With heat and then fire

As I rage at the sea

Of love that I feel

Unrequited in me
