I feel the ache deep into the lonely night
A yearning deep that keeps me wide awake
It's longing for a touch, a glance, a word
A tender sentiment that's rarely heard
It stretches out like oceans wide and deep
Across the miles where lonely heartbeats weep
A silent prayer for love that's out of sight
A wish upon the heavensfor love's pure light
This longing is a sail without a wind
A story waiting to be penned and pinned
It's hope that flutters softly like a dove
In endless search for its counterpart love
It's in the music, in the poet's rhyme
A timeless dance, a rhythm so sublime
A longing that's as old as time itself
A book that yearns to be pulled off the shelf
So here I stand, with open heart and hands
Across the time, the space, the distant lands
For longing is a bridge from me to you
A path that's trodden by the hopeful few
