Chocolates and Advocaat

love never dies
a heart is never broken
the pain may be unbearable
the sadness without depth
but love never dies
and a heart is never broken
unless a choice is made
to turn away from love


it’s fascinating to remember
how it all began
unexpected delightful spirited
someone I never knew
for a time a loving partner
beauty beyond compare
and now a complete stranger
your beauty still beyond compare


how did you change
why did you change
the world was cruel to us
finding a stranger in our places
let me go back
let us go back
there is no going back


you chose to turn away from love
the choice was made for you
the pain you bore
the sadness grew
from family, life and war
they never left
they never dimmed
and we could find no way


your mind it broke
you could not see
the love i felt for you
how can a mind delude itself
to seeing someone in my place
you hated him
because of him
you hated me


my love never dies
my heart is never broken
your pain too deep
the hurt too much
your sadness never ending
all i can give
to show my love
chocolates and advocaat


the nurse she said
when he passed on
the little man
with his white hair
he always gave
and made for sure
chocolates and advocaat
she had in plenty


his love never died
his heart at times was broken
his pain was deep
from joy
and sadness too
his love as stubborn
as the man he was


a walk of love
that in the end
chocolates and advocaat
