Old or New Love

What is the truth of my deepest youth?
No talk or tell-tale,
Message of that ail;
If only I knew how to love you.

The strings of my heart pulled so far apart,
Broken at the end,
Unable to mend,
Is it enough to find a new love?

I wanted so much to live, had so much to give,
How does anyone know,
"I told you so,"
For to have been told, leaves the heart cold.

Yet, alas, my love grows stronger every day,
For the one who could not stay,
Please God, guide me on my way.
