-Elusive Love-

 

 

Where have you been hiding love?

I've sought you for so long,

hoping you might hear me cry at night

my sorrowful, lonesome song!

 

 

What have you been hiding for?

Surely, Love, you see

that I'm blind to the cost, all fortune I've lost

while you've been eluding me!

 

 

Why have you been hiding, Love?

Have I not earned you yet,

when to no avail, I hunt and I fail

again and again, without regret?

 

 

Who do you think you are, dear love

toy toy with me this way,

ruthlessly teasing, for your own pleasing

that I might hold you some day?

 

 

When I finally catch you, Love

I shall never let you go!

When they demand why I always hold hands

I'll say "just ask Love...she knows."
