From nowhere you surrounded me
a whirlwind of emotion
a season of change
a mounting desire
a passion unknown

For months unheard, unseen
a moment of contact
a voice that moved me
a plan to meet
a building excitement

Finally our dreams connected
a hand touched
a kiss exchanged
a fever unleashed
an eternity beside you

Fear of our reality looms large
a tear of sorrow
a longing to be with you
a knowledge that I can't
a love swept away

Forsaken by your silence
a cry to be with you
an empty heart
a broken shell
a goodbye never spoken.
