Nobody is my lover,
I searched for her for lifetimes,
And finally noticed,
She was always at my side,
Nothing is my heart's true desire,
But something,
Used to always get in the way,
Now emptiness fills me to overflowing,
As I fall into my lover's embrace,
I can love you or ...
I can love love itself,
And thus love you truly,
Letting illusion rest at last,
Has freedom spoiled me for any other lover,
Or is there room for the one in the infinite,
Questions fall away in the embrace of my true love,
Join me in her arms,
And rest at last,
I am carried,
Like a mother holding her infant child,
Tender, yet firm,
I am provided for,
With caring attention,
That anticipates every need,
And yet,
I am swallowed whole by this love,
I searched for her for lifetimes,
And finally noticed,
She was always at my side,
Nothing is my heart's true desire,
But something,
Used to always get in the way,
Now emptiness fills me to overflowing,
As I fall into my lover's embrace,
I can love you or ...
I can love love itself,
And thus love you truly,
Letting illusion rest at last,
Has freedom spoiled me for any other lover,
Or is there room for the one in the infinite,
Questions fall away in the embrace of my true love,
Join me in her arms,
And rest at last,
I am carried,
Like a mother holding her infant child,
Tender, yet firm,
I am provided for,
With caring attention,
That anticipates every need,
And yet,
I am swallowed whole by this love,
