My heart, my longing lonely heart
How do I live with this yearning
How does one function when incomplete
When nothing fills the want within
I was so alone and lost in my despair
And you came to me full of promise
Whispers of freedom from the pain
Dreams of a union never broken
Woven in the fabric of my being
Desire now stirred to hope
You asked for my hand
Humble and tender
Your words of love so grand
But deep and soft yet strong
How could I but consent
For this dream long sought invited
The joy of invitation into your life
The anticipation of glad union
The dream of happily ever after
And fulfillment of desires
Long nights I have awaited
To be held in loving arms
And look into your eyes
At last to be fully known
Yet you have gone away
It is needful you have said
For our future and glad happiness
I must go and ready our home
And so I wait for you
Long years of love sick longing
Heart yearning for the moment
That we might be as one
I do not doubt your promise
Of return and solemn vow
But often it seems a dream
That loneliness contrived
For years have gone by now
And the joy has somehow faded
I look out over sea and mountain
Still searching for your return
The dullness of my world
Lost spark of hope now dimming
Turns into resignation
To a life lived without you
Some small glimpse occurs
Every now and then
When I look at some sweet gift
Small symbol of our future
But the yearning only grows
As bitter sweet memories brought
When I see that light in others
In the flower of their delight
I wait for you beloved
In painful silent yearning
And faded dreams of togetherness
Deep longing never sated
I hope
I yearn
I wait
