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?
