DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE NOW?

You say that I'm going to be fine soon,
and that though it hurts us now,
that this is for the best...
But you don't know what it's like for me now...
or do you?...

Do you know what it's like,
when every time I turn a corner now,
I wish that you were there to greet me?
When every time I unlock my front door now,
I wish that you were waiting for me?
When every time I see a lock of hair now,
I wish that it was yours, and wish that you were near?
When every time it rains now,
I pray to my false God, and pray that you were here?
When every time I'm reminded of you now,
I'm blinded by memory's overwhelmence?
To be so sad as me now,
as to resign my seat of eminence?
When every time I think of you now,
it hurts me though I love you still?
When every time I dream of marriage now,
I wish that someday, somehow... we still will?

Do you know what it's like?...
I pray that you don't, and yet I pray that you do.
So depart here I won't, because I'll still love you.
You tell me to go, but you want me to stay,
can't you make up your mind? I'll do as you say,
but say what you want, and speak from your heart,
don't speak your thoughts, but your feelings impart.
I'll stay if you love me, I'll leave if you don't,
And I'll return if you want me, elsewise I won't.
So do tell me now and do tell me true,
My love do you love me as I do love you?
