I am looking and you are not there
You said that You---love me
You said that You---care, that We---are suppose to be a pair

Time is ticking and days go by
You said that you will come back
To me so it can be You and I

I love you---
But where are you

Between you and I there’s heat
But now I’m sitting here waiting
I’m scared that one day I would have a broken heart

I want to be able to hold your hand
But out hands are unclasped
Memories past of what use to be

A brisk wind blew---
Our arms apart
Our arms away
Our love blew away
Free

With all this patience I feel so dry
It seems like our love for each other had died
