MY PRECIOUS

It is well-nigh impossible my dearest true
To let go of someone special like you
You are my lonely heart’s delight
You fill the yearning deep inside

Months and years shall surely pass
The distance may grow between us
And never may another chance arise
For us to gaze into each other’s eyes

Even then, this I solemnly pledge, my love
You are forever enshrined in my heart
Hard and arduous may be the way
From you, I shall never for a moment go astray

Loving you is all that matters to me now
Though gloomy may our fate appears somehow
By no means shall I cease to think of you
Every second of the day till my life is through

Do not forget me, I beseech so humbly
Banish me not from your memory
Even when our ties have all been severed
Do think of me no matter how brief

Always hopeful shall I be, my sweetest
Praying our fortunes shall change for the best
That even someday, when we are past our prime
We shall be brought again to share some time
