From across the room I saw you,
No words were said at all,
I could feel my heart begin to fall.
In that moment there was something that I knew,
Brightest star in the sky,
An angel sent before my eyes,
Just one look and I knew you felt it too.
Two hearts destined to be one,
By one touch I am unraveled,
By one touch I come undone.
For you I’ll never burn, this heart will only yearn.
For you,
For you,
With you I come alive, no need to see the other side.
For you,
Only you.
For you I’ll never burn, this heart will only yearn.
For you,
For you,
With you I come alive, no need to see the other side.
For you,
Only you.
Daisy wiped a lone tear streaming down her face. “Did you just write that?”
He only nodded and kept playing.
Time crept up and slowed down in a way that felt illegal, and soon it was time for him to depart.
Daisy hugged him hard, then let go first.
“It’s eight weeks,” he said softly. “I’ll be back before you know it.”
She leaned up and pecked him on the lips, mindful of his lingering family. “Have fun, Band Boy. I love you.”
“I love you, too.” He kissed her once more, then she watched as he drove away into his future.
Eight Weeks Later
