Far Away Love

In the darkness I can reside,

'cause I still remember your smile. 

I can still wait for the future ahead,

by just recalling the words you said.

After all the days and all the nights,

I can't gather the courage to say.

If only you could read my mind, love,

maybe my tale would make you sway.

Your perfume fills my head,

binding me like a corset.

Your presence can never be surfeit,

yet I can't keep my silly lines assorted.

Just like a childhood movie,

you invade my memory.

 Like chains around my feet,

from you, I can't be set free.

If you faded in my mind,

how will I ever abide?

I'll be dead before I cried,

In the darkness I'll no longer reside.
