You?
How long have I waited
for you to fall into my arms?
So I can hold you close,
and keep you from harm
Your smile brightens me
in my darkest hour.
What gave you the right
to have all this power?
You've taken my life
and turned it around,
you put colour back in,
and returned the sound
How long have I waited
for you to appear?
What scares me most:
will you leave me here?
