The Longing
Thunder echoed across the sky
Then lighting flashes through my eye.
And there I saw her standing by,
wiping tears as she bade goodbye..
Then silence struck the lonely night
Inviting me to hold you tight.
I held you close with all my might,
For in my life you are the light.
It’s been months since you went away,
I miss you every single day.
Before I lay, to Him I'd pray
That we'd be together someday.
I’ve been to places everywhere,
I've searched the world but you’re not there.
Many months I’ve searched ‘til a year,
Still I couldn't find you my dear.
Then a letter came one morning,
A letter that changed everything.
I fell down while my tears falling
When I knew I’ve lost my darling.
I cried your name out in the rain,
Hoping you’d come and ease the pain.
Memories filled my heart and brain,
Oh when will I see you again?
