I have a grievance: no one speaks the language of my heart,
In lonely nights, there is no soul to wake me from the dark.

I fell in love with you, and my restless heart still calls,
In all this world, no other love could heal these broken walls.

I searched among the crowds for one who understood my pain,
But none could be the friend you were, again and yet again.

I lost myself while searching for the soul I saw in you,
And in the mirror of my heart, your memory still shines through.

I lit the house of my heart with every thought of you,
But after you, this wounded heart found nothing else to hold on to.

Each night I ask the moon about the one I cannot see,
The moon remains silent, yet your shadow stays with me.

I tried to erase your name, to leave the past behind,
But love has carved your memory too deeply in my mind.

The years have passed, yet still I wait beneath the sky,
Still hoping that someday you'll return, still asking why.

Though distance built a wall between your heart and mine,
My hope for us remains alive beyond the edge of time.

Wherever I may wander, I find traces of your face,
For every road without you feels empty, lost, and out of place.

I gave my whole heart to you and asked for nothing in return,
And though the world moved on, my heart still chose to burn.

My candle turned to ashes in the fire of our goodbye,
Yet love for you still lives within; it refuses still to die.

If I have ever complained about the sorrow love has brought,
It is not because I regret the love, or wish it had not taught.

Perhaps my only gift from you was memory left behind,
Yet even that is more precious than what the world could ever find.

O God, You have witnessed every sorrow in my soul,
When darkness filled my nights, Your mercy made me whole.

I do not want to forget you, not until my final breath,
For love like this is stronger than the silence after death.

And if the spring of my young days has faded into gray,
Your memory is the flower that never fades away.

If loneliness is waiting at the ending of my road,
I will still believe that pure love is worth its heaviest load.

So I carry you within me, wherever life may lead,
For nothing in this world can replace the heart's deepest need.

And if I break a hundred times beneath the weight of love,
I will still say your name, for no one else is enough.
