Phantom

Phantom

When the water in the pot steams,
When the lamp in the lighthouse beams,
When an ocean wave breaks and creams,
In everyday and in extremes
I will come to you in your dreams.

When the heroes of the book win,
When a villain pays for his sin,
When the kids in the playground grin,
As times of happiness begin
I will come to you from within.

When the color of the shirt fades,
When a girl cuts off her braids,
When the doctor no longer aids,
In moments when sadness pervades
I will come to you behind shades.

When you shall say you do not care,
When you shall cease to be aware,
When you shall lose your inner flare,
Always, anytime, anywhere,
I will come to love you, I swear.
