It's while we waste the day away that you let down your guard,
But as the twilight saunters forth, we have to pull apart.
Twelve hours till we meet once more; till then, my heart is marred.
Twelve hours to keep breathing, and it shouldn't be this hard.
I dream about you every night; I just can't qualify
Between the you I dreamt myself and you before my eyes.
I don't expect heaven on earth; my dreams more than suffice -
Until I wake and find I could ask nothing more of life.
There is one thing, if pressed upon, I might just have to ask,
And -- yes -- before you bring it up, I'm well up to the task.
I'd rather get it over with and put it in my past.
The pain's well worth the gain, so I don't mind the pallid mask.
Swift, sink your teeth into my veins; touch, soft, my collarbone,
And you'll recall that on this night, the shameless full moon shone.
I know it's not the kind of feat you'd normally condone,
But if you do, then very soon, you won't be so alone.
