My Longing...

I know so well your confusion…and that is what breaks my heart. It hurts not the most to see that you love another, but say that I am still your Guardian and not love me so. This all is the most painful thing for me…it’s something that I’ve never experienced. I just wish, so hard, that you would sway your mind…that you would just for that single moment I long for, say those word I want to hear…

          The tears I hold back for you start to hurt. At this point, I just want to die in your comfort. I just want to express every single little bit of affection I have for you and then just fade away. My age says I am young, but I am much older…and these kinds of things have worn down on me. I just want to love as I fall…

          In the musical, “Phantom of the Opera” the Phantom is in love with Christine, trying to claim her heart…but she loves Raoul instead and leaves the Phantom heart-broken. I cannot draw enough parallels to I and the Phantom and you to Christine. I love you…I do not want to have to deal with this pain anymore…just embrace me in your arms with all of your heart for one moment…

 

“Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime…

lead me, save me from my solitude…

Say you’ll want me with you here, beside you…

anywhere you go let me go too…

Engel, that’s all I ask of you…” " The Phantom (As I sing his lines…)

 

Daniel Helle, Eighteenth of May, Two Thousand and Eleven.

"It hurts not the most to see that you love" That part was kind of awkward. "In the musical,(No comma) “Phantom of the Opera”(,)"

It's so sad. :-(
