MY HEART YEARNS FOR YOU
My heart
yearns for you,
Just like a
baby yearning for her mother's breast,
Just like a
stressed man yearning for rest,
So does my
heart yearn for you.
Just like a
man yearning for his lover's touch,
Just as a
child yearns for her mother's warmth,
Just like a
weary soul yearning for peace,
So do my
lips yearn for your kiss.
My heart
longs for you,
As the day
longs for the night,
As the
moonlight longs for the daylight,
As heavy
eyes long for sleep,
As a thirsty
person longs for water,
So also, my
ears yearn for your voice.
My heart
needs you,
Like the
moon needs the sun,
Like a
father needs a son,
Like a dark
room needs light,
Like the earth
needs the rain,
Like flowers
need the morning dew,
Like a lonely
soul needs companionship,
Like a broken
heart needs healing.
My heart
yearns for you,
Not just for
your presence,
But for your
voice, your touch, your warmth,
For the comfort
that comes when you are near,
For the peace
that settles within me when I hear your name.
My heart
longs for you,
And no matter
how far you may be,
A part of me
will always yearn for you.
