It's late at night
And I can't sleep.
The longings for you
Run deep
Within my very soul,
Knowing - I will -
Never -
Ever -
Have you to hold.

The turmoil wracks
My mind unending,
There is no way of suspending
The relentless pain.
Knowing - I will never -
Ever -
Cause my love for you to wane.

Considering another
Is not an option,
There is no will
For that adoption.
The loneliness will-
Surely ensue,
Knowing - I will-
Never -
Ever -
Be able to have you.

To want a life
In continued denial,
Is far from right and
Evident all the while.
But, I cannot abide!
Knowing - I will never-
Ever -
Have you, by my side.

My love for you
Will be forever.
A feeling I cannot sever.
You're as much to me
As the air I breathe -
And I'm not at ease - knowing,
I will never - ever -
Have you, as I please.

'til I'm laid to rest,
I'll do my best
To give you my full devotion.
And I must contain
My sincere emotion,
Knowing , it is true,
I could never, ever,
Have had you.
