I ask for a fraction in time
That we could spend together
If only to be with you
And to enjoy your company...just once
I ask for a place on this earth
That we could call our own
If only to confine ourselves
Building our own paradise...just once
I ask for a piece of your mind
As we get serious from time to time
If only to delve into realities
While we painstakingly deal with them...just once
I ask for the sound of your voice
As you whisper of your emotions
If only to tell me of treasured confidences
While we keep to the soulfullness of dark nights...just once
I ask for the resonance of your laughter
As we drift along golden meadows
If only to reverberate as echoes
Of the happy solace we could find...just once.
