LONGING

AT NIGHT I MISS YOU MORE THAN IN THE DAY
BECAUSE WHEN I LYE IN BED AND
MY ROOM FILLS WITH SILENCE AND
THE DARK INVADES
MY THOUGHTS ARE ONLY OF YOU.....
DURING THE DAY MY TIME IS TAKEN
BY YELLS OF GLEE AND
TEARS OF SORROW AND
CRIES OF HUNGER AND
SIGHS OF SLEEP BY MY YOUNG SON.....
BUT AT NIGHT
ONLY THE MOON AND
THE STARS AND
THE QUIET AND
I EXIST
SO MY THOUGHTS WANDER IN AND
OUT OF MOMENTS SPENT WITH YOU.....
AS THE NIGHT GROWS DARKER
I HEAR THE FAINT WORDS YOU ONCE
WHISPERED TO ME
YOU SAID I NEED YOU
YOU SAID I WANT YOU
YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME.....
THOSE WORDS ONCE SO PURE
ONCE SO TRUE
SEEMED TO VANISH WITH THE
TRANQUIL CLOUDS AND
THE MORNING DEW
STILL THEY ECHO IN MY HEAD
CHILLING MY BODY
CARESSING MY SOUL.....
BECAUSE KNOWING ONCE THEY WERE SAID
FROM YOUR HEART AND
HOPING NOW THAT THEY STILL
ARE TRUE
MY THOUGHTS GROW DEEPER EVER SO
REFLECTING ON THE DAYS AND
NIGHTS WE SPENT TOGETHER EXPLORING
EACH OTHERS WANTS AND
EACH OTHERS NEEDS AND
EACH OTHERS GOALS AND
EACH OTHERS DREAMS.....
WE ARE SO ALIKE WANTING TO
FIND LOVE AGAIN AND
YET SO AFRAID TO FACE IT
WE WERE SO NEW TOGETHER
BUT IT WAS AS IF YOU AND
I HAD BEEN TOGETHER FOR
ALL ETERNITY.....
MY HEART BEAT QUICKENS
AS THE THOUGHTS OF THAT NIGHT
FLOODED MY EMPTINESS
THAT NIGHT WE FACED EACH OTHER
FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT
OUR WALLS TO PROTECT US
WE GAVE IN TO OUR FEELINGS AND
LOVED WITHOUT FORCE
OR PRESSURE JUST
FREE.....
IT FELT SO NICE WHILE I SLEPT
KNOWING YOU WERE THERE AND
WOULD BE WHEN I AWAKENED
WE WERE SO CLOSE YET
SO FAR AWAY.....
SOON MY EYES OVERFLOW
WITH TEARS OF PAIN AND
TEARS OF LONGING AND
TEARS OF NOT KNOWING WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS
THEN MY THOUGHTS FADE AWAY INTO
SLEEPFUL BLISS....
