How I long

How I long to experience
your strong embrace,
or feel your hand
just brush my face.

How I long to see
your shining eyes,
glowing deep
with no hidden lies.

How I long to hear
your kind, gentle voice
and how every time you talk to me
It's filled with rejoice.

How I long to watch
the stars light up every time you smile
and know that I am safe with you
even if only for a while.

How I long to have
these dreams of mine come true.
You have no idea
just how much I long for you.
