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
