Lack of love

That last one was 10 days ago –
And if I knew it was the last one, I wouldn’t let it go.
That last one went by and I thought there’d be more,
I didn’t know it would become something I long for.

Those words make me smile, they’re something my soul needs,
They are that substance on which my heart feeds.
They are my salvation when I’m about to drown
they are my way up when I’m falling deep down.

And now I’m left without them, though I don’t know why
But I won’t be sad, I won’t sit down and cry
I need those words, but I won’t force a thing…
… I won’t ask for words that’ll make my heart sing.

That last “I love you” was 10 days ago
And if I knew it was the last one, I wouldn’t let it go;
I hope I’ll hear it soon from the one my heart chose
Because he is my addiction and that is my dose.

I love you and I need you, so please come back to me
Come, and say you love me, let me be free.
