My heart does long for you

In all its strangeness and confusion 

It stays sure of its love for you

 

It cowers down at the world 

And howls and bites back

It needs so much to be close to you

 

My soul gets crowded

And feels lost in the kaos

And seeks like a beggar our Lord

 

Sleep is fleeting and elusive

Peace comes only inside mania 

And melody within a minor chord.

 

My needing myself is not folly

Sometimes she’s the only  friend who can reach me

But I am you, too, and you are me

 

Still the Lord draws and molds us 

In different shapes and times

But you're blind if you cannot see...

 

All my wind and sun and colors 

Reflect in you alone

And my being is pulled in with your gravity

 

You quench my mind’s desert

And roll my dream’s river 

You are the solid mass on which I place my feet

 

Time solves the math of pain

But it only reveals more to learn

For all its right there’s still a sting of wrong

 

Another day another step in our dance

Pulled apart or cheek cheek

For only you my heart does long
