Waiting In Vain

For a long time I have waited Anxious and dispirited For you to come back to me How much longer shall I wait? How long shall my patience be tested? How long shall it take to rekindle a love gone cold? Find it in your heart of gold to forgive Let go of every grievance Let go of every pain of the past To err is human weakness To forgive is divine Life is too short to be wasted on Grievances and mundane things Whenever I look into your eyes I see a heart burning with desire To love and be loved I see a soul craving to be smothered By genuine affection Come back to me my darling Let us take back Our lost paradise From the altar of denial
