When I once looked into your eyes, 

I saw honesty lying there.

When I once looked into your eyes, 

I saw loyalty with love and care.

When I once looked into your eyes,

I saw life and love forever more.

When I now look into your eyes,

I see darkness, and nothing anymore.

When I once held onto your hand, 

I felt compassion, kindness and love.

When I once held onto your hand, 

I felt the warmth from GOD above.

When I once held onto your hand, 

I felt a joy from the person I adored.

When I now hold onto your hand, 

I feel coldness, and nothing anymore.

When I use to listen to your voice, 

I once heard it with vigor and excitement.

When I use to listen to your voice, 

I once heard it with warmth and fulfillment.

When I use to listened to your voice, 

I once heard it with truth which I swore.

When I now listen to your voice.

I go dumb, as I hear nothing anymore.

When I once looked upon your face, 

I would always look with pride and a smile.

When I once looked upon your face, 

I would always thank GOD your with me now

When I once looked upon your face, 

I would always be there to open your door.

When I now look upon your face, 

I go blind, as I see nothing anymore.

When I once kissed your lips, 

I tasted myself and also your flavor.

When I once kissed your lips,

I tasted life as you were my savior.

When I once kissed your lips, 

I tasted excitement and your love in store.

When I now  think of kissing your lips,

I now bite them shut, I taste nothing anymore.
