Let me long for you, in the depth of the night,
Cry and laugh for you, in the tender light.

And bridge the gap between fantasy and truth,
As our love unfolds, in age and youth.

Let me call upon you, with every letter and sound,
Perhaps as your name echoes, in my lips you’ll be found.
Let me build a kingdom of passion and grace,
Where you are the queen, and our love takes place.
