How many nights will have to pass?

Before the reason, comes to my rhyme

How many specks of sand will trickle through the hourglass?

Before there are no remaining, thoughts of us in time



How many nights will have the dreams?

Of your face as I awake in a cold sweat

How many times will no one hear my screams?

When will I be free, of your loves debt?



How many prayers will I have spoken?

Before God in heaven, sends peace to my heart below

How many promises will go unbroken?

And when this one stops beating will you know?



How many times my love will I write?

My soul down, word for word, with brute honesty

How many darks will have turned to light?

Before you have a passing thought of me



How many blossoms will the trees have bared?

Before the anger wilts on your hate tree

How many stars will these eyes have stared?

At in the sky above, before you too, stare at the stars and see?



That I love you more than life itself

Need you more than the flower needs the rain

Never wanted anything for you other than love and health

And in my heart, you my love…will always, until the end of my time…remain
