My head slowly turned as I departed
Enamored by your impeccable beauty
Incensed with your sweet nature
My heart would stay within your reach.

You merit the world's grandest praises
As eyes marvel at an intricate pastiche
A soulmate who sings to the same tune
And moves to the same beat.

Yet shackles restrain me from falling
In the sullen stillness of the dark
The cold wind surges in the peaceful sky
And my heart shivers with grief.

Thus I take you into my dreams
Into the deeper stages where hope floats
In a place where time runs slowly
In a place where I could love you infinitely.

As I open my eyes at the break of dawn
I reluctantly embrace reality
That lovely night is almost over
And still you are not with me.
