So many times I’ve longed to hold
You here within my arms,
To hold your tender body and
Protect you from all harm.
My life has been so incomplete,
For it is lacking you.
If only I could hold you near,
And know your love was true.
So many times I’ve wished that I
Could see you once again.
I spend my life now longing for
The things that could have been.
