Love Story #5

“A Hundred Shades of Blue”


As I lie in bed in this empty room,
My thoughts come back to you,
And my world dyes a single color,
A singular shade of blue.

I try to get on with my life back here,
Just doing what I can I do,
But time is measured in eternal moments,
Each made up of a memory of you.

My body aches with a singular need,
For the tenderness that I once knew,
And even though such love leaves no mark,
I always end up black and blue.

Even if I have to wait a lifetime
For such dreams as these to come true,
My hearts strength will come from patience,
And I will watch the world turn in cycles,
A hundred shades of blue.
