Did You Love Me Back?

When I look in your eyes, I can see the moon.

I know we’ll be together soon.

For our love is like a rose in bloom.

We fit together like two peas in a pod.


You had my heart the minute I saw you.

I knew our love would be true.

There was nothing I could do.

I could only sit and pray to God.


Never leave me.

Always be.

And let me see.

Show me a sign like a gentle nod.


Please love me in return.

My love for you forever burns.

And the world it turns and turns.

Perhaps you need a gentle prod.


Or perhaps I was wrong.

You’re gone.

I lose my song.

And I’m left still wondering if there is a God.
