I was an undiscovered island
until you entered my shore on a day
and blew across where I lay.

I was a lonely island
until you held my hand on a day
and promised to walk by me all my way.

My heart was thirsty for love
you filled it with your wine
I drunk deep from it
the intoxication sunk me on cloud nine.

I could not but dream about you because
for me you were a dream come true
a love as pure and new, like the early morning dew.

Your lap was pillow to my tired body
your words were music to my ears lady
your warmth was fodder to my soul
your fragrance soothed me to the whole.

But my worst nightmare came true
when I woke up and found me without you
I could not believe you left me in a sway
I could not believe I was alone in life’s bay.

A coldness numbed my heart
but I did not try to warm it from the start
tears flowed down my eye
but I did not bother to make it dry.

Love is as powerful as death
loneliness is death itself
now I am lonely but not dead
for I have a hope in life by which I am led.

A hope that you will come back to me
cos I believe that your love was true to me
and if my love brings you back to me
do you know where to find me.

I will still be waiting for you
at the very same place you left me
till my life runs out of me.
