Longing

I see you,

I always hear you,

When I turn on the radio

Hear your music

See you on the little screen.

I can almost feel you.

But you’re not here.

Thousands of miles away

I wait for your call

Which never came

It’s okay. It’s okay.

I understand,

I’ll love you just the same.

I still write these songs

That you’ve asked me for

Songs we’ll sing together

Someday, maybe soon.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

I understand,

These tears would stop soon.

I see you,

Sometimes with another

But I’ve taught myself

Not to bother.

I hold on to your promise

As you hold on to my heart

Soon enough, you’ll be here.

Tears flood during the night,

Nevermind that. All is fine.

Let us be strong now

And stronger later on.

The fight is still on,

No need to hurry

No need to surrender.

Your voice is like lightning

In a quiet night.

‘How are you?’

‘I miss you so?’

It’s okay. I’m fine.

Your voice—I can almost touch you

In this lonely, dark night.

“When will you be back?”

I wanted to ask,

But I stopped myself.

Be stronger, be stronger.

I chant to myself.

"I’ll come home soon,"

You said out of the blue.

I smile in the dark,

Could almost feel your

Heartbeat next to mine.

Pressing closer with each word.

And I reply with a warm

“I’ll wait for you. All is fine.”

“I’ll sing for you. Only for you.”
