A Love I Hold

True love

I have searched for you in a million names
Through the echoes of streets and soft windowpanes

Each name a whisper, each face a clue
But none of them led me none but you

When I found you the world turned bright
Like the moon had kissed the night

Your laugh was a song, it lit the air
I thought I saw forever standing there

But your heart stayed silent, a quiet stone
And I learned to dance with being alone

Still I hold it close, the light you gave
A treasure kept, a heart to save

But the love was just on me
A one-sided flame in a vast, dark sea

No regrets, no cries, no plea
I will keep the love that once made me free.
