En Videregaende Skole i Wyoming


A yearning, a feeling.

It digs deep and grows strong,

Only one such a feeling 

It lasts a lifetime.

 

The crash of waves

The missing piece

A taste of salt on your lips.

 

Across the ocean far away

He fights for freedom

But remembers his home.

 

A cloudy day matched with 

Cloudy hearts.

She sits and looks,

Far away but so close.

 

A ship is dashed on the rock,

It's hull split in two.

The visualization of dispair.

 

A yearning, a feeling.

They cannot be parted

Though time and distance

Pull to destroy.

 

Hands pressed to heart.

"I will never forget."

Her words lost to the wind

As tears stain her cheek.

 

Across the sea he lays.

A dark trench as bombs fall.

"I will never forget" as his lips go cold.

 

A single picture 

Painted long ago.

 

A yearning, a feeling.

A broken ship, a broken dream.

Distance cannot break

The love of two hearts.
