I still remember the day we met,
Brought together by that silly bet.
So different – you and I – at opposite poles,
A world apart was our two souls.

You were the day, I was the night,
Thought I’d be blinded by your light.
How different could two people be?
How we’d survive, I couldn’t see.

But still my heart I gave to you,
Black and ugly, worthless, too,
Yet you kept my useless heart,
Accepted it right from the start,

And gave me your heart made of gold,
Worth so much more - one thousand fold.
Why would you want this broken husk?
Fading away just like the dusk?

I’ve never known the reasons why,
At your side, you’d want me by.
And so I wait until that day,
“I don’t want you,” is what you say.
So until you and I must part,
Until then, you have my heart.
