There's an essence in the air
that leaves me panting
thirsting
craving

A sweet toxicity of sorts
that floods these halls
these rooms
these bodies

There's a force amongst this crowd
A collective heart pulsating

It's a notion of liberation
of one heart beating sporadically

Oh the road's been long and winding,
and I, here, patiently waiting,
have clung tightly to your smiling,
ever so tightly to your smiling.

Anxious as I am to go,
Still I'm begging, “Let me stay.
Please just give me one more day;
my Love, she needs me.
See her weeping?
Please just give me one more day.”

Another day passes; here I am,
my Love still proudly by my side.
When I look into her eyes,
I feel as though I might survive.

But alas, my Love, I'm fading,
and I'm begging, “Please forgive me;
I've nothing left to give you
but my love.
I know the road ahead seems long,
but my dear, you are so strong.
And I promise I will see you soon again.”
