I think of you when we're apart
I long for you to see it in my eyes
Your lips betray your beating heart
You guard the truth with rehearsed lies.

Will God ever give yang to my yin
I fear you will remain my greatest regret
A shame we met too late to begin
Far too early to try and forget.

Do you wonder why this feels true?
I pray someday I'll give you all I can  
My only purpose is to love you
It's all I've done since time began.

Will it ever stop? This yearning?
I wish you would take away my pain
Smokeless flame forever burning
Put it out, come be my rain.

I've dreamed of that first kiss
I know you have thought of it too
Even Time would pause for this
When I am no longer me, but you.

More laughter and less tears,
I believe that's what life has in store.
To meet you I've waited thirty five years.
To have us? I'll wait thirty five more.
