The Longing

For so long i have dreamt of holding you,
endless nights i spent dreaming,
thinking and longing for that awaited day
where i'd feel that love i once thought i knew.

Those nights so long ago,
that i felt the heat, the love
the passion of an undying devotion
as it wrapped around my heart,
drowning in the ends of an ocean.

How i long to turn back time.
I'm a child and reality's a chime,
it signals for me to go back home
to a place where the love exists no more.

The nights get longer,
my desires grow stronger,
Times taunts at me
changing nights to days,days to weeks, weeks to months, and
months to years.
still my heart calls out
longing for that which it holds so dear

When will this pain come to a rest?
has God not forgiven my most shameful regrets?
There aren't much tears left to cry,
and to continue with my life i've begun to try.

yet these dreams inside my mind,
they come at night to be by my side,
get out.
get out.
i do not know how much longer i can bide.

I've grown weary of this pain i feel,
in my mind you burn stronger than ever,
yet as time continues to fly,
my heart begins to die

Tomorrow is another day,
my thoughts of you will never completely fade away,
and though i know in my heart I'll always love you,
the most i can do right now
is cry..
