Unrequited love

I remembered how you hold me;
In the midst of lightning and thunder.
You told me to be brave;
Brave enough to face the world.
Now I am so alone to face it.

I remembered how we used to play;
In the soft grass and the muds.
You taught me to love;
Love so divine as in the Book.
Now I am so left alone.

I remembered how you fight for me;
In the rude world of sweats.
You gave your blood for me;
The blood which I  can never repay.
Now I am left with only words.

I remembered how you used to love me;
In every possible way.
You gave me love and hope;
A hope that I will be with you.
Now all I can do is love you.

I remembered the songs we used to sing;
In the depth of our heart.
You gave me new life with your song;
A song which will be buried with me.
Now all I can sing is a lonely song.

Though we may be a world apart;
There's hope when the trumpets thundered
That I will be with you.
This is my song. This is my unrequited love.
