Years have passed, without a word
Without a hope, a sound, a clue
Yet still I long for you
Transparent are my memories
Memories of your face, your smile, your laugh
Yet still I long for you
At first I waited, passing time
Passed the days, weeks, months, years
Yet still I long for you
Venting my pain and I am told
They tell me to give up, move on, let go
Yet still I long for you
Often I sit and wonder who you are now
Are you kinder, happier, wiser?
Yet still I long for you
I speak your name, a painful sound
The sound a weapon, a fear, a drug
Yet still I long for you
With these words I tell the world you left
How you left me scarred, lost, blue
Yet still I long for you
I wait for the day of my release
A day I’ll smile, laugh, renew
Yet still I’ll long for you
