Do you not see.
do you not understand?
I ask, not for selfish reasons,
rather I desire to please,
I cannot see a time
or place without you,
do you not fathom that
without you I would be
scattered upon the wind.
Already it whips through my hair,
carries my scent
towards the shore,
unrelentless it pulls
at my heart strings,
the wind and sea,
they call to me.
Oh my bonnie lass,
please understand,
I do not want to leave,
no more than the tide
wishes to leave the shore,
I long to still with you,
our toes in the sand.
But they call to me.
Alas, now I must go,
but I shall return,
my love awoken anew,
with fond thoughts of you.
