Longing For You

My heart weeps rivers of sadness for you,
And once again I’m longing to be whole.
My arms outstretched in search of love so true,
In my life you play an important role.

You are no longer standing here with me,
I pray daily that you will soon return.
Of this sadness I shall never be free,
Until the love I have for you is learned.

The glow of your smile brightens my day,
The tenderness in your voice assures me,
The warmth of your eyes tells me you will stay.
Is a love beneath your chest still stirring?
You are the air that’s keeping me alive,
And for your acceptance is what I strive.
