The Love song of Lucas


Press play before reading. Salute.



 (A lone voice sings)


My Dianna

My life's only Prana

My true love from Havana


I can still hear your breathing and every word you say

When you whisper my name
Even though I'm a thousand miles away


My Dianna
My Dianna


My heart beats faster when I remember our first touch

It's a beloved memory that my soul loves so much


My Dianna
My Dianna


So beautiful
A crazy urge is calling
A love song that must never be hushed


My Dianna


I can still hear your breathing and every word you say

Whispers saying
I should come out to play


My Dianna
My Dianna


My true love from Havana


You've put a spell on me

Like Morgana


The White Witch of Alabama


My Dianna
My Dianna


I just wish we could still dance 

Cheek to cheek

Like on Ibiza Cala Bassa Beach


So you could lay me down on soft sands 


And let your hands begin to preach

For my love boat has been breached


My Dianna
My life's Prana

My true love from Havana


When will you call me

And begin to teach


My Dianna
My life's Prana


I'll forever be waiting on Cala Bassa Beach
