I yearn to see you, you whose heart is harder than stone,
In your eyes, I saw God more clearly than in my own heart alone.
You left, and now my nights no longer know the dawn,
My weary heart can bear no more of this sorrow carried on.
You are the distant moon that fell into my darkest night,
The precious love that tied my soul to yours so tight.
Your gaze has become the peace my restless spirit seeks,
Your memory walks beside me through the rain, through nights that weep.
Though you are far away, though you may never hear my plea,
Know that no other soul could ever be a companion to me.
You left, and my heart remained among the shadows and the pain,
Wandering through the lonely nights, calling your name again.
In every street I walked, your memories left their trace,
In every window, I could see the shadow of your face.
I thought I heard your footsteps echo softly through the air,
A thousand times I woke from dreams, believing you were there.
How many nights I sat beneath the stars above,
Hoping they would bring me news of my one and only love.
I told the moon the secrets that my heart could never say,
I asked the winds to carry all my longing far away.
I asked the rain to tell you of the tears I shed alone,
Perhaps your heart of stone would feel the ache that I have known.
But the moon fell silent, and the rain began to cry,
The breeze told all the world my sorrow as it wandered by.
Oh, you with the heart of stone, you who are my soul's delight,
How can I live without you? How can I survive the night?
With just one glance, you carried me to worlds I’d never known,
You took me from myself and left me in an endless ocean.
I am that weary lover who still waits along your way,
In this broken world, my heart grows weaker every day.
I have never regretted loving you, nor fled your memory,
Though I stand alone beneath the weight of love's uncertainty.
Each morning, I awaken with your name upon my lips,
Each night, I tell the moon of love that time can never eclipse.
I searched for you within the fragrance of the springtime flowers,
I sought you in the ocean waves, in mountains' silent towers.
I found you in a child's laughter, in a bird's melodious song,
In every loving heart where tenderness and hope belong.
Where have you hidden, my love? Where have you lost your way?
Each night I call your name through tears, with nothing left to say.
If someday your footsteps lead you down this old familiar street,
If you find a broken heart that can no longer bear defeat,
Know that it is mine, still loving you as it did from the start,
For nothing but your name has found a home inside my heart.
Come, let the tale of distance find its ending here tonight,
Come, let this weary heart recover strength and life and light.
Come, hand in hand, let us walk through these streets once more,
Leave behind our grief and pain, and all we've suffered before.
Though the world has raised a thousand walls between our souls,
Though fate has torn apart the dreams that once made us whole,
I'll build a bridge of love across the barriers we face,
And find a thousand roads that lead me back to your embrace.
I will not fear the storms, nor this ocean without end,
For your love is the lantern that my darkest nights befriend.
If all that I receive from you is just a memory,
That memory will remain a light through all eternity.
If someday you forget my name and leave me far behind,
If you find another love and leave our past behind,
Know that I will hold no bitterness against you in my heart,
I'll pray that happiness will find you, wherever you may start.
But I wish you knew the things this heart has suffered through,
The sleepless nights I've spent beneath the sky, remembering you.
The words I kept imprisoned deep within my silent chest,
The tears I shed in secret when my heart could find no rest.
What do I ask of life? A little peace, a chance to see your face,
A smile upon your lips, a moment in your warm embrace.
I seek no crown, no royal throne, no silver, gold, or fame,
Just sit beside me for a while, and whisper out my name.
Let me tell you of the years that passed in silent pain,
Of all the hidden secrets I have carried through the rain.
I'll tell you of the night the rain fell softly, cold and slow,
While I sat alone in darkness, with nowhere else to go.
I'll tell you of my heart, of dreams of seeing you again,
Of how I lost my soul within the tresses of your mane.
I saw you, and I learned that love is never easy to bear,
That every heart in love must face the wounds of deep despair.
And yet, despite it all, I never cast your love away,
Though I broke a thousand times, I chose to let my heart stay.
Like a secret, I kept you hidden deep within my breast,
In every prayer, in every bow, I called your name in earnest.
O God, You saw my heart was pure, my love was never false,
Though loving you was difficult, in You I placed my trust.
If loving you is sinful, I will never fear the blame,
If thorns line every road I walk, I'll still pursue the same.
For in your eyes, I saw a light beyond this world of ours,
Between those weary eyes, I glimpsed the trace of heaven's powers.
I yearn to see you, you whose heart is harder than stone,
In your eyes, I saw God more clearly than in my own heart alone.
If someday your heart trembles and you think of me once more,
Know that this faithful lover still waits as before.
Neither time can steal the love that lives within my soul,
Nor can ashes quench the fire that makes my spirit whole.
You were the first line of my verse, the ending of my song,
The meaning of my every breath, where my heart belongs.
If someday someone asks me why I loved you so deeply,
I'll say, “Within her eyes, I saw a beauty hidden heavenly.”
And if they ask what still remains within this weary heart,
I'll say, “Her name remains, and love that death cannot depart.”
I still yearn to see you, though you're far away from me,
Still, love continues blooming where my heart remains so free.
You, whose heart is harder than stone, perhaps you do not know:
As long as I am
breathing, my love for you will grow.
I yearn to see you, you whose heart is harder than stone,
In your eyes, I saw God—and found a love beyond my own.
