First time I saw you
I was stunned, not batting an eye
My gaze lingered onto you
I have since then tried to win you over
People tried to dissuade me
Though I never gave up
But my fear slowed me down
My fear of being hurt again
My fear of not loving the right one
And now it's too late
Too late to hope
Too late to anticipate
It's like you're gone
Your light belongs to another
I feel left in the dark
You may be happy
But, the one you call your lover
Does not reciprocate your affection for her
I would have flourished your soul
You would have lit up my world
But you chose the easiest path
I have loved you for so long
Now, my heart, my soul
As good as castaways
Can't you have mercy on me?
