When I first heard 'Hiraeth'

My mind took me to you

For me, my 'Hiraeth' was your heart

A place that I can never return to.

A place I once called home

A place which probably was never mine

It was my delusion for a love that never was

Now I'm drowning my sorrows in wine.

All those talks about finding each other sooner,

Still echoes inside the empty walls of my heart,

Two hearts which found a place to belong, together

Couldn't be any more far apart.

You knocked on the doors of my heart,

And I let you in without a test,

And I still wonder which strings you tugged at,

That unravelled all the rest.

Now my heart's just tall brick walls

With the lingering memories of the past,

And a big empty hole where you used to live,

My 'Hiraeth' will always be you; my yearning for something that was never meant to last.
