HE

Remnants of a treasured past
Show how much you loved him, dear,
How you wished that it would last---
The end was your only fear.

For in his arms you found home,
And his warmth became your life.
He said, "You are not alone"
And, he bore with you your strife

But then you saw pain in him.
You said, "You don't have to stay,"
For his convictions burdened him
So you told him, "Go away."

For he had dreams of his own
And he had it all planned out
Right until you came along,
And you turned his heart about.

But time came to say "adieu"
For, then, you have played your part
Though his arms they missed you,
You had to break his heart

And now your heart, it waits
For him to come again
Though years have passed, it waits
For HE WILL come again
