Male African-American vocal, 1970s inspired soul ballad with warm analog production, Vocal style: smooth, emotional, restrained but deep, Soulful phrasing, controlled vibrato, expressive but not dramatic, Instrumentation: - Electric guitar with warm vintage tone in verses (clean, slightly reverb, 70s style) - Soft piano chords carrying the chorus - Emotional saxophone fills between verses and choruses - Subtle bass groove - Light brushed drums, laid-back tempo Mood: nostalgic, grateful, reflective, late-night warmth, Tempo: slow groove (72–82 BPM), Atmosphere: smoky room, dim lights, 2AM confession, vintage vinyl texture, Structure: Verse (guitar-led, intimate) Pre-chorus (slight lift) Chorus (piano-led, fuller but still smooth) Saxophone interlude Second verse Bridge minimal and emotional Final chorus warm and slightly fuller with layered harmonies, Overall feeling: a soulful tribute, dignified love, not a plea but a heartfelt acknowledgment

Here I am, waiting for you to come back, You could have stayed a few more years, You belong here, with your kin, some are gone sure, But some returned, like me, with you in mind, I’m so tired of mourning, having to do it with you, Is one too many, my love, far too heavy, It was a different era, you gave me so much energy, Along with that country, you got the best of me, I got to love myself thanks to you, I hope one day to return the favor, I have no means of making sure that you are okay, So here I am, clutching my fist, holding my breath, Praying everyday from the bottom of my heart, If only you could sense that, if only I could send, My worry your way through endless waves, If only you would come back, I need you to reassure me, It was a different era, you gave me so much energy, Along with that country, you got the best of me, I got to love myself thanks to you, I hope one day to return the favor, Chances are you are perfectly fine, went your way, Met someone who fits you, who pleases you, Hopefully you got to be that happy, a mother maybe, Here is, without jealousy, all I wish for you, And if in the midst of your life, from time to time, You could think of me, remember what we had, It would be enough to appease my sorrow, Maybe recover the drive to fight like no tomorrow, It was a different era, you gave me so much energy, Along with that country, you got the best of me, I got to love myself thanks to you, I hope one day to return the favor, Anca, I hope someday you will understand, How much you meant, still mean to some extent, Thirteen years have gone by, Sure I was attracted to others many times, Tried my luck once or twice, But here I am, back where we used to be, Because no one made me feel the way you did, My love for you runs deeper than I can afford, It was a different era, you gave me so much energy, Along with that country, you got the best of me, I got to love myself thanks to you, I hope one day to return the favor, Come back home my love, The sooner the better...
