Longing

Tell me my love, where have you gone Why don’t you love me as I would have you do Why can’t I be your everything The sun, the moon, the stars Searching that is all I ever do Searching for your arms to hold me For a love that will never let go A love that knows no self Thoughts together only as one One soul, one mind, one heart Entwined together for eternity No absence, no parting No set adrift apart To be loved till the end of time Like an eternal burning flame Love me, love me like the heroes of old Sweep me into your outstretched arms And take me with you to Paradise My life my world my all Love me, love me with words, sweet tender words Covet me, covet me as men covet power Hold me, caress me with awesome wonder Want me with a burning flaming need With uncontrollable longing and desire Tender my garden so the roses bloom Make of me your everything And I will die in peace Having found the key to happiness
