Perhaps I have been foolish.
A fault I've often claimed...
To feel so strongly drawn to you,
And hope you felt the same.

To live within a dream world-
With love and laughter free.
And watch it all be shattered...
By cold reality.

To think of moments, fleeting,
As I gaze into your eyes...
And mutual exploration...
Reveals love, to our surprise!

A brother of the North wind-
A dreamer of the wild...
I'd never be a lap dog,
I am the wild wolf's child.

But still there is a longing,
To love and have the same.
And when I wake in darkness,
I'm calling out your name-

I guess I'd better go now-
For I heard the wild geese cry,
And thought I merely take the time,
To say my last goodbye.
