the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a sun
give me endless glow of your
tender love, care, affection

the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a breeze
drive away the clouds that mark
my brow – insecurities

the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a man
claim what is rightfully yours
part my hair and see full moon
