I lived through all those lonely summers <br />When the days were warm and long, <br />But I never shared the comfort <br />Of a love so deep and strong, <br />And yet still I kept on waiting <br />How I longed to find romance, <br />While the others always found it <br />I just never got the chance. <br /> <br />I watched the leaves of autumn falling <br />And felt the winds begin to blow, <br />I walked the empty streets alone <br />For I had nowhere to go, <br />And yet still I kept on searching <br />But my tears I couldn't hide, <br />While I tried to keep on smiling <br />How I hurt so much inside. <br /> <br />And then I felt the cold of winters <br />When the chills did fill the air, <br />And I had no one to hold me <br />For there was nobody there, <br />And yet still I kept believing <br />That one day it would come true, <br />And my dreams just never ended <br />Dreaming was all I could do. <br /> <br />I lived through all those lonely spring-times <br />And I watched the flowers bloom, <br />And I longed to find my lover <br />But I only found more gloom, <br />And yet still I kept on hoping <br />That one day my life would start, <br />But the years passed by unnoticed <br />Love awake my sleeping heart.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-awake-my-sleeping-heart/
