I feel a longing
of love that has gone.
I can see you yearn,
I see that I may learn.
How will I be,
how will I see?

It's so warm in here,
can the cool breeze end this..?
I know I can seize,
I know I can guess
at this moment of loss.
Will inspiration come back across?

Do I need to figure this out?
Hey...do we really know
why a flower grows?
Why is it sooo bold
as to remind us of the sweetness
of love, nonetheless.

Feeling a connection to you.
Oh..what am I to do;
is this why I'm here?
I have no more fears,
then why so many tears?

How can I make a difference,
how can I make a reference
to this love gone by?
I was temporary, why
How will I get some rest,
how will I do this.
