Longing


I never felt this way before, I could feel my heart begin to soar. Your smile a beacon of light, The thing I dream about at night. But love that could not be, Quickly began to swallow me. I felt hopeless and in despair, My lungs ran out of air. Soon enough you saw my pain, But it’s over now love is not a game.
