Keep me alive for just another year
the sky is clear tonight, but the moon is missing.
As the world emits a starry glow
the freshly fallen snow seems everlasting.
Quiet cold; vacuumed in the soundless air.
Sharing light, internal thoughts with my surroundings.
I don't care if it is wrong or right.
If I can't see her tonight, my tears will drown me.
So when when the time is right, I will bite to break though
to the center of this lonely feeling.
So beware! Tonight our hearts show truth,
and the love I feel you feel will break the surface.
And if it takes even another year,
I'll be waiting here as if you were my only purpose.
