I miss you, you know
Time lingers for no one
Strength subsides
Flesh is weak
Hands searching
for something sweet
Just for a moment
Until you fill up
My empty spaces

sometimes at night, when I'm alone
I look at pictures we took together
and funny videos too

they put a smile on my face
when I'm feeling down
missing being around you

if you ever think I don't love you
you should know that
you're my calm before the storm

you're the fire
in my belly, in my heart
you're the one that keeps me warm

A long time to wait,
A long journey to travel,
A long time waiting to touch you, love,

Waiting so long my love,
Can not find the path to your heart,

Morning light, gentle breeze,
Carrying your scent of spring cherry blossom trees,
The morning dew kissing my cheek,
Memories of you.

Hastily, eagerly chasing after, morning shadows,
Wishing to catch a glimpse of you in the morning mist,

Still unable to find,
A clear path to your heart,
To my Destiny,

Unable to surrender,
Unable to find the courage,
To travel the long journey,

To touch your heart,
To hold you in my arms.
