After Love

When love departs the heart

And the wind sings no more

Or the flame has thoroughly melted

The candle at its core

When the song loses its music

When the magic is no more

Should I find my heart in pieces

Lying forgotten on the floor...

Then I must find a pen to write

And use my tears as its ink

I shall tell our tragic story

Without a pause or a blink

I would pick up the pieces

Of my broken little heart

I would stitch them back together

So they would not fall apart

Most of all, I shall find

The woman I once had been

For you must not be the end

I must love and be loved again.
