Lingering  Love

I seem to be thinking about you

It is a pleasure I found in life

I can’t help but think of you day and night

I know I can’t keep you in the light

So I will find here in the day

A subtle way to say

I would gladly join you if I could

But to die would not be good

If I would wish upon a star

I know my wish would never be real

To have you back here by my side

But the hurt I cannot hide

So to day I as of you

Please let just this one wish come true

Set me free to love again

I do know this hurt will never end

I see the ghost of you

Your image still here in my mild

My love for you will always be

So now I begging you to set me free

Your love will linger on

We can’t make love now that you’re gone

You left this world so long ago

Let the pain I feel heal and go

With all my love I ask of you

Now that you’re gone and we are threw

I don’t think I can go on

This love of mine does linger on
