When your lover has gone

For ages and ages,
the poets and sages,
Of love,
wondrous love always sing,
But ask any lover
and you’ll soon discover,
The heartaches
that romance can bring.
When you’re alone,
who cares for starlit skies?
When you’re alone,
the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn,
there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone.
What lonely hours,
the evening shadows bring!
What lonely hours,
with memories lingering!
Like faded flowers,
life can’t mean anything
When your lover has gone
