you were part of me before time
I felt you in tingly, fleeting glimpses
between the lines of legends and songs
year after year, I journeyed in vain
searching the eyes of lonely strangers
I found remnants, but not the vision
reaching with hands that felt nothing
doubting as my heart whispered
don’t give up, I finally relented
interning my fiery passion’s quest
behind the comfort of a performance,
gradually suffocating in silent desolation
then there you stood like the dream,
a gaze opening the threshold of heaven
and a touch that answered my prayers
your love fills the void in my essence
chasms cloud the light in your absence
if I lose you, I will sink into the abyss
