A NIGHT OF LONGING

A night of longing
my heart is weeping
because I need you,

The years are passing
your face is fading
but your words are everlasting,

Gray clouds are forming
holding rain in them
by night I tear up in memories
while the rain falls,

I feel you near me
but when I look to see
is a sad empty street
so I close my door,

I go to my room
to a cold empty bed
to lay my head
to get some rest,

Then there I go again
think about you
wondering if your thinking
abut me too.
