Tell me again…

Tell me again those sweet words of yesterday,
For, I often tremble, lost in this horrible illusion 
That keeps me ever so close to you.
I think I’m going crazy! Crazy in love with you. 

Thoughts of fear and insecurity run through my head, asking myself:
“What is the worth of all my tears and my sufferings?
Can you hear me cry? Do you even care?
What is the worth of my dreams if they are not of you?”
So many questions that my heart ponders,
Yet I get no answers.
I reopen the wound that you have so cruelly caused me. 

Do you remember the time when you used to love me?
Do you remember all the sweet promises you once made to me?
They were beautiful. They were sincere. They were for me.
They made me believe that one day you would forever be mine. 
But now the fear of losing you weighs heavy on my heart. 
And I begin to lose faith in you, 
I begin to lose faith in me, 
I begin to lose faith in destiny. 

I cannot live freely although I hide my pain from you.
I pray to hear your promises again, for, I need you next to me.
Tell me again those sweet words of yesterday.
I want to live again, but I can’t go on without you. 
Tell me again those sweet words of promises so far gone,
So, that, in your eyes I can find my reason to live once more.
