At a time in loving kindness you smiled merrily
but now you do not act that way and are not so
and it’s as if you think I want your life to overthrow
and now it’s as if you do not even regard me
and this is not the way that I want you to be
and at times some of your tears do flow
and sometimes away I want to go
but without you I am never really free
and are desperate among men
and you are in my heart wherever I might dwell
and when I am away I really miss you then
and this is what happens to you as well
and if this is not how real love is,
then I have never known its depths and its bliss.
