Inconstant as the summer's breeze,

Your smile makes my heart freeze.

Light, pale, peaceful as the moon,

I wonder, will you be back soon?

Whispered words carried over the still night air,

Leaving cloaked emotions all exposed and bare.

Do you remember all those times together?

It was a lie when you said it would last forever.

It was like as if you really needed me to fall,

If I only knew that you never meant it at all.

Maybe then I wouldn't need to cry,

When I found out that it was all just a lie.

I clung so pathetically to your every word,

I sat there for so long, just waiting to be heard.

I waited so patiently for your next appearance,

It wasn't like I wanted this perseverance.

Erratic as always, you're gone when I need you,

I tell myself all the time, ignore it, it's through.

Yet I'm still here, ready to listen and aid.

But when I call for you, even the echoes fade…

I look around hopefully for a sign of your presence,

And you're still not here, your promises a pretense.

So I've been told, by myself most of the time,

Love is a war, a battlefield, a terrible crime.

It's not good to dream, to believe in things never true.

But nothing can stop the wanting or love I have for you.
