Longing For Your Love
My eyes are open
but no longer do I see your familiar smile,
My ears are open
but no longer do I hear your kind and gentle whisper,
My arms are open
and yet I long to hold you in them,
But most of all my heart is open
and no longer do I feel your love.
The amazing thing that once made my life so complete,
overwhelmed, and in love...
I never realized how precious it can be
until the fire dies, until the love is gone,
And there is nothing left to do
to bring that love back.
Tell me, how much longer will it take,
how many more tears have to fall?
How much longer do I have to wait
for the warmth of your love?
I search this world,
wondering if you really care,
Or was it all lies when you said
you would always be there?
You left me one day never to return,
you waved good-bye and tore out my heart,
Took away my dreams,
and ripped my life apart.
How could something so amazing
ever be so cruel?
Questions stand unanswered,
only to be answered by you.
But now you reach and touch me,
my body trembles, and shivers run down my spine,
And each time builds my hope
that one day, love,
You and I will walk hand in hand
on the road of life,
And once again you'll protect me
and shield me from the pain and fear
this lonely world has to hold.
One day I'll hear your whisper
and see that familiar smile,
I'll open my arms
and find you lying helplessly in them,
And no longer will I have to long for the love
that makes my life complete.
