DE-SIDERIS (Looking for Happiness)

“I’ve wanted the day to arrive for a long time. And I know that it will arrive. I don’t know when, nor how, nor why, I only know that when it does arrive it will be one of the best moments of my entire life. I want it to arrive, I want it to arrive now, the awaited moment, the desired moment, the perfect moment. Why doesn’t it arrive? I’m waiting for you. Come on! Arrive! I’m sick of waiting, I can’t stand it any more. I want it to become a reality, I want it to become a reality now, right away!”
