Accepting The Pain Of Longing



Your voice, your laugh, the face
Your cuddles, your hugs, your grace

I miss you every day
So much I shut it out
It turns my soul gray
And I need to block you out

I miss you so much it hurts
It feels as such it burns

Can't look at your photos
Can't think of our memories
Every time I do
I need a new remedy

The longer we are appart
The more it breaks my heart

A piece of me is missing
The one I can't replace
I run out of useless wishing
Untill I have to face

I have to live without you
And need more meaning to life
Even though I really love you
I need to give up the fight

Until I see you again
I must learn to begin
To find more meaning to life
Find something worth the strive

I love you very dearly
I want to see you every day
Until I see that day clearly
This is all I have to say

I love you every day
I miss you very clearly
Maybe one day I can stay
In your life indefinitely
