Haven’t wanted to divulge my life, engulf its pleasures into my soul
To come forth and feel again, to enter a realm of glorious love and cry the tears of joy
Have not been touched in so long; have not wanted the feeling of softness again
Lips so pure and tender you find your destiny, not again have I kissed
Do not know what truth is, the lies that have been told to me blind me now
I walk away from all who offer me comfort, to make my days so lonely
Nights pass so quickly and dark, I have no one to tend my wounded heart
Eyes so sweet I entered a whole new world, not again have I kissed
You left me to be lost and unwanted, to search so endlessly for the one I need
To reach the place where the beginning meets its end and my life reaches it’s whole
Nowhere to be found is she who creates a new life for me, who gives me her hand
Take a stroll down the memories of my past, so you may enter my future complete
I need you to know that there is no more need to remember you, you are no longer here
I have forgotten the very feeling when you were near, I love you no more
The nerves that ran through me when you touched me, your kiss left me blissful
The touch so eagerly wanted I’d wait a lifetime, not again have I kissed
Turned away from me and my world, turned away from our destined future
No more, no days to be counted, no return of what it was to be loved and cared for
I await for a new form of light to walk to my door, and enter my heart and love me
A need that gives me hope to find her, and to kiss the truth of what love should be
A complete cycle, a totality of ones own destiny, to be able to kiss again
