How Long?

How long?

For how long did I hold your gaze?
Back then in the early days.
The day that we first met.
And how long did it take you to forget me.

For how long did your fire burn?
How long before you ceased to yearn for me, and only me?
I can’t believe I couldn\'t read the sighs?
When did you no longer become mine ?

When did you believe I might discover?
And how long will it be till I recover ?
Leaving me a hurt and broken man.
Please walk me through the timeframe to help me understand.

For how long were you longing to be free?.
I need to understand, explain it please to me.
When did you finally decide?

Decide to walk away, Choose to “ Let it slide ?
Another game to play.
And when you up and leave me
I hope that you believe me, when I tell you that I didn’t see it coming.
Couldn’t see that time was running out for us.
For how long did you endure and live a lie?
When did our love die?
Please don’t tell me what I did so wrong
Just walk me through the time frame.
Tell me please how long?
