The Yearning

Have a desire to be close to you once again

to say to you, what I never said before

to be lost in your tight embrace

Oh How I have longed to be there!

 

I want to get old with you,

Be by your side, when your hair turns grey

Want to rest my head on your shoulder

Oh how vulnerable I am without you!

 

I want you to be a part of my future

When I am old and my skin has wrinkled

my eyes might fail to give me a proper sight

would you show me what’s left of the world?

 

I may not understand your soft whispers

But your eyes will always suffice

Telling me all the secrets of your heart

Revealing onto me even what you leave unsaid

 

I want to sing my love song when you are 100

Would you still feel my love on that day?

I will be there for you, even after death

Would you prefer your final sleep next to my grave?
