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.
