A deceiver

Long ago I stood there 
As if he was sure to come 
I pined for him 
grew pale for him 
as if to have love so true 

He never turned to me 
nor asked for me 
rebuke was all I got 
still the hope was there 
for him to share 
those memories full of blue 

And lo 
Years have passed 
age surpassed 
and I see him watch through 
he stands at distance 
asks for instance 
do you love me too? 

My heart so weeps 
my tears sweep 
my cheeks go red with fear 
who is this 
though I know him well 
why is he so weird? 

He asks me more 
I am not sure 
what has brought him here 
I look along to follow a song 
a way so nice and clear 
And where he's gone 
I hear no song 
again a deceiver!
