A lone candlelight kindled in her hands
As she stood looking darkness in the eyes
Awaiting when this torture ends
Awaiting when the separation dies

She stood as wind tore at her hair
She stood as rain voided her sight
But she did not and would not care
Only that he would see the candlelight
The light that she kindled for him
The light that kept her going strong
The light that she would never dim
The light that led him all along

And every night she'd purge the darkness
Believing that one night he'd come
The lone candle saw the sadness
And kept her pain a secret one

And then one night she saw him in the distance
But she did not want to believe
For wrongful hope is such a grievence
And eyes are known to deceive
Yet her heart felt that she was right
That it was he who walked towards her
And when his worn face basked in light
she knew that this was worth to die for

And he looked in her tearful eyes
And at her looked his tired gaze
And there they stood beneath the plaintive skies
Beyond reality, stuck in a dumbfound haze

She questioned him with her bright eyes
And saw it's better not to know
The loss of evrything that dies
That his tired eyes had dimly showed

He took her in his harsh worn hands
And held her close, tighter than life
Knowing that now their torture ends
The've overcome the acrid stife

He gently kissed her velvet lips
Passion became their new enclave
And he was lost in her eyes as she was in his
Drowning each other in the sea of love
