Yearning
I stand aside, just watching her,
She takes my breath away.
I'm in the corner, like the night,
While she is the light of day.
...
Fado's daughter has things I don't,
Such as a sense of grace.
Watching her weave on the dance floor,
My eyes can't keep pace.
...
I abstain from interaction,
I must control my lust.
For now, we are but simple friends,
I can't betray her trust.
...
And yet my hopeless thoughts remain,
Like a fever they burn.
To tell Eirika how I feel,
For the truth I yearn.
...
Is this a deception,
Maintaining this charade?
Should I reveal what I feel,
Or take it to my grave?
...
Well, for now I'll stay in the shadows,
While you stay in the light.
The ball's just started, there's much to do,
So have a pleasant night.
