Here I sit lonely and heartbroken
Because of love so freely spoken
I loved her, I think she loved me
But face to face we never did see
I was to visit this princess of mine
Oh to feel her embrace would have been divine!
But she is gone now, a victim of fear
Just too afraid she had drawn so near
You cannot trust what you cannot see
And her parents could not trust me
All we had were our words of devotion
All we had was our shared emotion
But all the same their distrust grew
And in time, her distrust did too
So she left me and never replied
What did I do? I broke down and cried
Couldn't do much else, I'm not a predator
I wanted nothing else but just to love her
But so is the story of my pathetic life
The kind always filled with unfair strife
But I press on anyway, wishing and hoping my love will arrive
'Hey Rachel! it would be nice to know if you were still alive! '
