Streams of Tears

i scramble alone in this vast place
where streams seem to run on forever
i am alone and oh so lonely
It seems i'm the only one in this vast place
on the other side of the streams
i see a figure moving so gracefully
but this stream won't end so i can get to him
oh how i wish i had a raft
but this is just a vast empty space
with two souls longing to get to each other
but can't because these streams won't end
where is all this water coming from
then i hear a deep echoing voice say
these are the tears of all those who
tried to get the love they craved but could not obtain it


oh these endless streams of tears
that has widened to recieve mine as well
