The heart of the romantic

I cry out with a lonely heart,

For a love that is greater than the pain.

Where are you, my true love?

Do you feel me through space and time?

I have loved you from the beginning of my days.

I have waited while so many years pass.

A lifetime is a small price to pay,

For the love I know we share.

There are times when I lose my hope.

Thinking you but a romantic illusion.

Naming the poets of love as liars,

But you are always there to call me back.

Do you cry out with a lonely heart,

For a love that is greater than the pain?

Asking where I am, your true love,

Wondering if I feel you through space and time?

I do, and it aids my faith of the poets.

Still, there are times when the pain is strong.

When I try to forge others into you,

But my heart has always belonged to you.

I no longer cry because we have never met,

For we already have a love greater than the pain.

One that radiates through space and time,

Which is more than most can say.
