A Thousand Years

I've died

A thousand times

Loving you

But I'd lived

A thousand times more

Wanting you

I've tasted pain

Long enough

To be with you

But I've endured agony

More than I could take

Without you

Bittersweet romance

Turned into ashes

Just to rise again

And standing tall

Fear not the wound

For it will heal

With just one kiss

Though the scar will remain

But love conceals

The ugliness within
