Always Longing For

I know that I will always be longing for your touch  
  longing for your words
  longing for us even though it barely seems possible
  longing for your kiss in which I am in dire need of
  longing for the way your hugs could heal any wound
  but that's the thing did I help at all with you
  To me all it seems like I did was add an extra pound to your weight
   carrying along with the other things you had to deal with
   Did I help u escape in any way, shape or form? 
   I know I will always be longing for you
   being in your arms was like summer all year
   I felt so safe, nothing to worry about
   Your lips, my pleasure
    I got lost whenever we were together
   how much I craved to be one with you  
   How much I craved seperation
    but that's another story 
    You had me weak from your unique style of giving 
    I don't think I will find anyone else like you on the market 
    which hurts
    cause now I know that I will always be longing for you
       longing for us... 
           but were just some distant memory right? 
               never to appear in reality again right?
                  But how come everytime I see you 
                         my heart jumps... 
           shouldn't I be over you? 
                A tear dropped down my eyes. 
              An addiction I just can't fight. 
                  I long for you. 
        I wanna dissolve in you.
                 But I can't have you. 
          So here I am like most days longing for something that I may never get.
