When a heart is yearning

To find what’s never there

You can feel it burning

For someone to care.

You can’t help who your love

Even if it is wrong

And you can’t get enough

Feeling you belong.

They say, it means nothing -

The phase, they say, will pass

What they say is tiring

But it doesn’t last.

In time, you find that joy

When it is out of mind

The pleasure-seeking boy

You say you are blind.

But all the dreams you had

You never quite forgot

The times when you were sad

When it hurt a lot.

I will remember you

With love and pride each day

And my heart is still true

There you’ll always stay
