Lingering

They say that love lingers

I never believed that to be true,

But that all changed;

The moment I met you.

Your love is lingering;

Always there

No matter what,

Each day I feel you;

Something I cannot bear,

In everything I do;

I can still see you.

(Standing there)

Smothered

by your presence;

I lost all sense of reality.

My thoughts turned cloudy,

& soul felt weak

the heart too heavy;

To muster out

the words to speak.

'Cause your love lingers;

It hurts me to the core

that it

consumes

our only chance,

we could ever have;

To be in touch

(again)
