Longing by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law

FALSE HOPES

Darling, he said as he reached for her hand
I love being near you, but please understand,
It's her that I live for and hold in my arms.
It's you that I dream of, so pulled by your charms.

Darling, remember, you're special to me,
But she is the woman I'm aching to free.
Our future's uncertain, yes this much is true,
But darling, I've never told one lie to you.

He touched her face gently;
His arms wrapped so tight.
Have sweet dreams, my darling.
He kissed her goodnight.

If I could be two men, how happy I'd be.
I long to be with her, yet long to be free.
Sweet darling, he whispered, then kissed her goodbye,
Please promise, no false hopes.
My darling, don't cry.
