Don't you know!

Too long have I searched for you

And now there aren't more places to look

Yet I will hold strong, 

I remember the promise I made

The promise you took

Through the words of a poem

The colors of a canvas

Through the works of art

And the notes of music

I have sought you

It is all a charade 

The anger, the apathy

The laughter and smiles of pain

The ice cold exterior

And the nerves of steel 

Though honest I am 

I have lied to myself

'Make it through one more day'

Did I not say that yesterday ?

I have lost myself amidst friends

And worked sleepless nights in vain

I have drowned intoxicated 

And found myself alone in a crowd

All over again

I remember what I said

Do you not know I lied ?

The wait is unbearable, 

The anguish intense

I may not hold strong 

Did it never cross your mind

That I might break ?

Too long, it has been too long

I want you to come

I want you to come now
