Do I need a reason?... an explanation to show?...
That all that I have done in my life?...
Would lead to this?...I don't know...

Was I expecting something more?...
Something passionate and seething?...
Some great love at some point?...
Or maybe this is it...just keep breathing...

I can't give up , I will keep fighting...
This fire that has been smoldering...
For what seems centuries...
Is finally igniting....

But, I never would have thought...
That I would be burning alone...
Feeling the flames...
Peeling flesh from my bones...

I have love to give and I want love in return...
For this one.. basic human need in life...
I would gladly step into the fire and burn...

To hold you and feel your warmth beside me...
I would surely give up anything you ask...
But, just getting to know you seems to be...
Such a tiring task...

You have so much love to give...
So do I...
Because, of this I will always try...
To find you out there somewhere...
And when I do...
We'll be together, you and I...
