Yearning

Somewhere, deep within me, that little flame burns on.

Silent, unobtrusive, endless it burns

I try to think of other things, I try to do other things,

But this yearning never stops.

I want to be held close, want to be cherished, And I want to cherish you

I close my eyes, and see you beside me.

Throughout my day, you are beside me

Sometimes, words fail you. Things look so pointless. You wish the one person you want to know your feelings knows them, but you cannot express yourself to them.

You feel alone in a crowd, eyes always searching for that face, mind always asking the one question.

Whatever.
