No matter how long I wait
you'll be moving further away
distancing yourself from me
denying me a love that I've always felt inside
how could you let your love go unnoticed
why won't you open yourself to me?
why can't you let me love you like I know how?
I can't let it go that easy
sure others will catch my attention
maybe even sweep me off my feet
but you-you are my knight in shining armor
the one on the white horse
to come and take me away
the one with whom I should be riding off into the purple sunset
but it won't happen
and I'll be left here
alone in the dark
drowning in my love for you
there is one way out
to be with you
love you,
hold you,
touch you,
smell you,
kiss you
but you see it's too late for us
you're in the Navy now
and once you're gone that's it
I'm still here
I still love you
but my head is full of something strange
something that's never been there before
it stings and brings tears to my eyes
I taste them
they don't taste like regular tears
there is something strange about the taste
for they are not salty
they are stinging my tongue
and melting my skin away
as the tears run down
I know what they are...
acid drops of love
