Era at the River's Edge

At the river's edge, I wait for
This moment to pass by
Then with opened eyes I saw
That shadow's disguise

At the river's edge I awake
To wisteria skies
Then I shook the ache away
As I met your eyes

And from that moment on
We set fire to both of our pasts
Until fate made us bid farewell
And unlinked our hands

Promise me, please promise me
That you'll come back to here someday
I will always be waiting
Until that day
Since you can't stay
Please just leave me with the memories
To the tune of
I'll see you soon

At the river's edge I will wait
Unable to move your way
So I acclimate to the
Lackluster grey

Far away from there, human fate
Turns promises to ends
I should say sorry for being late
But I can't make amends

And from that moment on
My silent world was all there was
A riverbed where I could spend
An era with naught but loss

Promise me, you promised me
That you'd come back to here someday
I have always been waiting
Another era
I will stay
Don't just leave me with the memories
To the tune of
I'll see you soon

Promise me, please promise me
That you'll come back to here someday
No matter how long it takes
I know you will return to this place
If to be human means to love
Then I will give all my heart away

Promise me, please promise me
That you'll stay with me, come what may
Even if it takes an era
I would wait
To see you again
Please stay here with me so I can
Say those words
Say I love you
