"Longing"

   Sweet thoughts of you, the soul consumes
   why did I have to wake?
   The mind does know , what's in your soul
   mistakes aren't hard to make
   when wisdom comes too late..........

   I want to talk in present tense
   I wish to smile and say
   that all of this makes perfect sense
   God planned it all this way

   Another day that teardrops fall
   and sadness rules my heart
   I've missed your smile the most of all
   these years we've been apart
 
  How many years now, has it been, how many have now passed
  still wonder how your life found end,
  have you found peace at last?

 
   How I long to find you here
   to see your smile once more
   to laugh and tease your curly hair
   and hold you like before
 
   Your youth was silenced, mine was lost
   that's one thing time can't mend
   no person should pay such a cost
                or go where I have been

   ... the longing lives within
