Bittersweet my is my love
For the man I pine away for
My lonely days and my lonely nights
Are filled with thoughts of grandeur
I’ve held my own for so long
That time no longer has a meaning
The colour of day blends into the colour of night
The sounds I hear ripple painfully through my
Aching bones
I won’t despair
Because I only care
For the moment that I know that you are nearing
My body awakens
At the idea of your presence
I’m suddenly alive and impatiently waiting
As I hear your footsteps slowly approaching
I can barely contain my excitement
You arrive
To stand by my side
And suddenly my world
Is on fire
There’s no longer a reason
For a bittersweet love affair
