Azure waves paint your smile
in dreamy clouds when my eyes are closed
Do you feel this longing?
Do you feel how cold it is where I am
without you?
While drunken you are
with the laughs you seek,
the smiles you wear mask the truth
your heart is too numb to feel.
How quick doth love depart a soul?
As quick as man soils his
senses with the wiles of the world.
Or am I the one marred?
If I am, am I alone?
Have I not been
through the depths of torment?
Have I not tasted
of your absence enough?
If death is anything
It is this.
It is this distance.
But I still live.
For the love I feel for you
is the very air I breathe.
While you are still at arms reach
I pray.
Deny not these shores.
Deny not the love I give.
But if only to prove that this ardor
Is deeper than the sea where you gaily drift
I shall swim across
just to make you feel one last time
That you have already found
the harbor you seek
right here
in my arms.
