All I ask of you...

No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I am here. Nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I am here with you beside you
To guard you and to guide you

Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You are safe. No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

Then
Say you share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from you solitude
Say you want me with you here and beside you
Anywhere you go let me go, too.
That's all I ask of you.

Say you share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning
Say you love me.
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

I am not sure how many people have NOT heard of this song before.
It is a song, you can call it as a love song if you like, that I think it will last longer than those R&R.
I always listen to it while I am alone at late night.
The picture doesn't look right, but that's where I am now - all by myself. It doesn't bother me that much though.

I once planned to sing this piece before, when there was this person said those words to me...
I never thought I could hear those words spoken to me again by another person.
Maybe, maybe someday, I can hear those words spoken to me again.

Hay, I am entitled to be naive and silly every once a while, even hopeless romantic for a minute.

I almost, almost wanted to ask him to tell me that day...
To tell me how much he would love me every waking moment...
Look at me as thought he couldn't bear to lose me...
Promise me, that all he says is true.
Yes, that's all I will ask and tell me if there is a girl/woman who doesn't want to hear those sweet talks.

10 years ago, I would buy those words right away.
I would clip my wings and settle. I could make deals with Lucifer if necessary then. I still can today. 
10 years later, I hesitate - commitment issue - that caused by countless "case study" conclusion and the fear of abandonment and betrayal.
I can't tell if I walk in this living hell I have created for myself or in a heaven on earth I build for myself.
I am so used to my solitude now, not even sure if I dare to throw myself into those love and hate craziness.

Will one lifetime be enough?
And we always dream to live "happily ever after".
It just hurts to sing this piece with conscious.
Professor was curious why I couldn't move my mouth the other day. Then I had to take my mind out but hit the notes and sing the "lyrics".
After all, it is "just" a song.
And yet, no one can tell me there is one living being that does not long to be loved, as the lyrics written.

Love me, that's all I ask of you...
