The moment you depart a longing so fervent engulfs me that I am lost adrift in my senses-memories of you I am drowning in need For but a breath of your essence Your sentiments Your intellect Your body That sweet elixir A desideratum for my very existence Time nor distraction wash away the ache It is you, and only you my love Who can calm the stormy seas You who at once Ignite my most fiery passions and quiet my greatest fears It is only you who can keep me afloat Can quell the ardent sting of your silence So I beg of you, my love Please Stay with me tonight

The Moment You Depart
The moment you depart a longing so fervent engulfs me that I am lost adrift in my senses-memories of you I am drowning in need For but a breath of your essence Your sentiments Your intellect Your body That sweet elixir A desideratum for my very existence Time nor distraction wash away the ache It is you, and only you my love Who can calm the stormy seas You who at once Ignite my most fiery passions and quiet my greatest fears It is only you who can keep me afloat Can quell the ardent sting of your silence So I beg of you, my love Please Stay with me tonight
