Longing

I don’t know what to call it now

That you’re waning in and out

Like a moon that hides

Its darker side

Behind a crescent smile

Summer air is dripping at my feet

I walk beneath the lilac trees

And I wonder if

You think of me

Or want the simple things

Oh how long

Is this longing for love

That I can stand beside you

We knew this road was never long

But I had comfort in your arms

Even for a little while

I felt like I belonged

But how our bud is ripping from the stem

And the closest now that I ever get

Are the blooming sounds

Of pining songs

To feel you in my hands

Oh how long

Is this longing for love

That I can stand beside you

That I can stand beside you
