I see her face in my head
but my hand refuses to draw.
I saw her on the street
but my voice refused to shout.
She comes to me in my dreams
and even then, I cannot capture her.
With all my soul, with everything I have,
I would have her,
Have her forevermore.
Until the stars fail and fall from the sky,
Until the oceans drown the mountains,
Until the universe gives way to a single man.
Until I wake
And face this empty bed,
This empty room,
This empty heart.
