I saw you tonight
Flora Sweeney 1946 (USA)
I saw you tonight...
innocently so...
My heart wrenched in pain....
where were you...
when I needed you so.
I turned and there you were...
I ran...
too confused.
I was frustrated...
angry...
bewildered.
But, oh, how much I realized,,,,
that I love you still.
You approached me...
I cried inside.
You touched me...
I died inside.
You looked at me....
I tried to hide.
I hate you!!!
I hate you!!!!
No...
I love you still.
Damn you forever...
I love you still.
