The Longing

the longing is a pain
a heavy pressure on my chest
it rarely leaves
and my day becomes a quest
to try not to think about her
and all that she brings
forget about her magic
all the beautiful things
---------------------------------
surely there are other things to life
but i can't think of one single thing
that matters more
than just to see her
just to see her
her smile her touch
her smell
her laugh
---------------------------------
the longing is a friend
a way to stay close
and feel like she's here
and feel like she knows
that when i say i would die for her
it's not just words i really would
and to make the world a safer place for her
well i believe i really could
---------------------------------
surely there are other things to life
but i can't think of one single thing
that matters more
than just to see her
to see her
her tears her sorrow
her faults
her doubts
i love them all
