To the One I Long For- Collaboration With Lu Loo

"TO THE ONE I LONG FOR"
                       Written by: Luloo & Edward Ibeh


                         How do you feel without me
                             near, my darling angel?

                           Please do answer me this
                            without lying to yourself

                        Does loneliness burn like acid?

                  Do I steal away a chunky piece of you
                          each time we bid goodbye?

                     Are you alright by your lonesome
                            or does a part of you die...
                         until you're back in my arms?

                            When I'm far out of sight
                      how intensely do you pine for me?

                         Do you feel strong and sturdy
                like the pillars carrying the weight of a roof?

                    O, how do you feel without me near…

                      Cease the night as I endorse you,
                      trying not to forget the delight of
                               your light last night.
                       You shined as if you knew I was
                       gazing at you with intense desire.
                       I shall never release this passion;
                        I would never allow you to feel
                                      abandoned.

                    For I would give you the universe,
                        and you would give me, well…
                                          you-
                                  in a perfect world.

                           I have been forsaken and I
                    sit and wonder if you feel the same.
                         There is no lie you could say
                       that could make me stay away;
                        no answer could you give that
                           could erase this vehement
                         fervor of emotional adoration
                                         for you.

                         My darling angel, I wonder,
                     how do you feel without me near?
                        I pine intensely awaiting your
                                 longing to appear.
