You, who are to come, the illusive one,
come to find me on this day.
Far outshine those who have come before,
and leave your light with me to stay.
I've thought of you for countless years
  imagining who and what you'd be.
I've sought you out in many ways
and places though I've never seen
  you here in anyone, though fooled at times
  by those so charmed and smooth.
Was it you who kept me in the dark
  to play the imposter's fool?
I picture you as dark and tall
  with youth still running in your soul.
Someone who'll risk to take a chance
and fall in love with one this old.
  So I wait for you to give me a sign
  of what lies in wait for me
  to give me hope through these sad days
  to what my future life will be.
You've never risked yourself for love.
  Be bold, for life is fleeting by
  at least for this lost soul in time,
you have to give our love a try.
