Though my lips have never known the soft comforts of yours

A heaving feeling fills my lungs after the mention of your name

Though my soul has never found solace in your touch

and another flower blooms with each passing glance

A heaving feeling fills my lungs after the mention of your name

The way you hold a thousand stars in your eyes

and another flower blooms with each passing glance

My last breath is in your hands

The way you hold a thousand stars in your eyes

Though my soul has never found solace in your touch

My last breath is in your hands

Though my lips have never known the soft comforts of yours
