I Appreciate

Stabbing pains in my chest

I ache when you’re not around

My world’s a bit empty

When you’re nowhere to be found

My actions merge together

My hours roll into days alone

I think about you constantly

In my head you are sewn

So tightly and so much

I need to see you now

Even if it’s only a tender touch

A soft kiss, a loving stare

To name but a few.

 

No feeling is permanent

No emotion is forever

So I know soon I’ll be happy again

When we are, when we’re together

I appreciate my feelings of loneliness

Because I know they won’t be forever.

 

The times I can’t cope

The days when I’m all alone

They show promise, they show hope

I’ll see you soon, that I know

So really, time apart makes me realise

It makes me wonder

It’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder

For that, I am glad, for that, I appreciate

I guess now when we’re apart

I know I just have to wait

With your presence only in my heart.

 

No feeling is permanent

No emotion is forever

So I know soon I’ll be happy again

When we are, when we’re together

I appreciate my feelings of loneliness

Because I know they won’t be forever.

I appreciate that we were once friends

I appreciate that now we’re more

Because it’s worked out great in the end

Your soul, yourself is what I saw

I appreciate, too, that you feel the same

My soul, myself is what you saw again.

 

No feeling is permanent

No emotion is forever

So I know soon I’ll be happy again

When we are, when we’re together

I appreciate my feelings of loneliness

Because I know they won’t be forever.
