Analysis of How Long
Frank Anthony Cimino jr 1963 (cleveland, Ohio)
How long I wait
How long I want
How long I desire
How long I crave
How long I hunger
How long I wish
How long I cherish
How long I stand in the shadows
For You
To be near you
To share my love with you
Your touch
For your kiss
To be with you
Every breath you take
Waiting for you
