And drift towards you

When I desire.

When I Desire

When I desire

I forgive.

When I desire

I destroy myself.

I rebuild,

When I desire.

You come,

You go.

I have the road,

The path to you

Covered in roses,

And forgetfulness.

Love is only a metaphor;

True liking

Is in the soul

And sacrifices,

And in being the world

For the one

We desire.

I seek

When I desire.

I dream

When I desire,

I forget myself

And drift towards you

When I desire.
