Ten Years of Waiting

(Theme: Separation, promise, endless waiting)
Verse 1
The wind blows softly through April skies,
Burning heat, yet my heart still cries.
Incense smoke fades into the blue,
Graves whisper stories I once knew.

Under palm trees by the silent stream,
We carved our hopes, we dared to dream.
You held my hand, you said my name,
Promised love would stay the same.

Pre-Chorus
Time flows like rivers, never turns back,
Your shadow follows every track.

Chorus
I will wait for you today,
Tomorrow, every year that fades.
Even if the world stands still,
Even if my heart is killed.
Ten long years, I’ll stay the same,
Calling softly out your name.
If love is pain, I’ll still remain,
Waiting in the rain.

Verse 2
Drums of war stole you away,
Wedding dreams began to sway.
You smiled strong but I saw fear,
Tears you tried so hard to clear.

Under lanterns, vows unspoken,
Two hearts cracked, not yet broken.
You said, “Trust me, I’ll return,”
I stayed behind, alone to burn.

Chorus
I will wait for you today,
Tomorrow, every year that fades.
Even if the stars fall down,
Even if hope cannot be found.
Ten long years, I’ll stay the same,
Calling softly out your name.

Outro
If fate is cruel and love must part,
I’ll keep you buried in my heart.
