Sometimes the greatest love you will ever know -
- is for that one love forever remaining outside your grasp
A person who pulls at your heartstrings each time you say goodbye
You feel your heart crying softly for the heartbeat of another person.
Whenever you talk to each other you feel your spirits rise to the stars
Time after time you try to hold onto your love and delay the goodbye!
Yet inevitably the goodbye arrives and your feeling of loss lies heavy in your heart
Try as you might, you can't settle your body, instead; sit thinking of what might have been.
I feel as though I can't breathe and my eyes feel the dampness of rolling tears
The telephone simply sits there and stares at me as though it is gloating at my sorrow
It doesn't ring and its silence cuts through me like a knife cutting into imaginary food
Orchid Lady when you are not here my heart seems to become a little weaker each day.
Loneliness itself can be tolerated, but living without you is almost impossible to bear
There are times when I imagine you are here and I foolishly look for you -
- only to find you are nowhere and a curtain had been flapping next to an open window
To sit alone through a cold winter's night adds to the misery of being alone.
I don't envy anyone who is living through a life like you and I are -
- How can you envy loneliness; it sits inside someone like an endless plague
Tomorrow can't arrive quickly enough, I feel as though time has stopped
Orchid Lady I wish you were here right at this moment - I need you.
