There was a time, when I thought I knew your face,
And then I would find, the true meaning of your grace.


As I went deep down, searching my inner self,
Looking for you, but only finding something else.


I know this feeling, Ive felt it once before,
But that was so long ago, and its lost within my soul.


You have the strength, to help me from this fate,
Or you shall stand there, simply denying my escape.


But if the day comes that you find it in your heart,
To lift this curse, help me find my counterpart.


I will forever be indebted to you,
Sticking by your side and doing whatever you decide to do.


Unless your kindness was straight from warmth of heart,
And not dedicated and sincere straight from the start.


Not meant for me at all,
But only when the burden of humanity headed your call.


I will step back under the dark and lonely cloud,
And daze off into nothing, occasionly thinking aloud.


What have i done to deserve this eternal unhappiness?
Was I doomed from the start, and damned from everlasting bliss?,


I shall patiently await, this answer I so seek,
Or another angel such as yourself, shall come to kiss my cheek.
