To Love, From Me
Why must you be so hard to find?
And how can I know when finally, you are found?
You blow kisses, you make hearts,
And yet when I lean towards you
To feel your warmth, to feel your grace,
You turn around and I feel only darkness, and despair.
My heart reaching to find even a hint of your smile.
But instead I find only emptiness.
Why do I even try?
Why do I seek to find you when all I find is hate?
It would be because one day, I will catch you
One day, I will feel your warmth, your grace.
I try because I will feel your gentle touch and hear your voice.
You are what I want.
You are what I seek.
So please stop running,
For my heart might just break.
And isn't the heart the one thing that you want?
Don't let me burn,
Don't make me wait.
I want you,
Take me, and bring me home.
But for now, I will wait,
And wait until you come.
So long, my greatest joy.
So long, my Love.
I'll wait for you.
