When he whispered "I love you",
I knew it was true.
Though he was just a mortal,
He meant more to me.
He could kiss me forever,
And hold me for always.
When we were together, he was all I could see.

Yes, perhaps just a mortal,
In the eyes of others.
But he was my true lover,
My life and my heart.
I could kiss him forever,
And hold him for always.
My tears formed a river, when we were apart.

But he was just a mortal,
I tried to forget.
He was just a mortal,
And now he is gone.
I will mourn him forever,
And miss him for always.
I will grieve him eternally, from dusk until dawn.

For he was just a mortal.
