Desperate Longing



You know,
I’m stuck here all alone
In this fight with myself,
With those I love
Already moving on.
You know,
I’m stuck here all alone,
In my aching misery
And longing
To see someone I no longer
Know or recognize.
You know,
I’m stuck here all alone,
Wishing for life to hurry up
As it moves ever-so-slowly
At a snail’s pace;
I'm sat here
Waiting for the day to come
When my hopes and dreams
Will finally come true
And I can see him again.
But for now,
Just so you know,
I’m stuck here all alone,
Desperately longing.
