douglas Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The Longing of LoveI've been traversing the globeOn aeroplanesOn ferriesOn trainsAnd I've felt the painThat comes from the two of us Not having found each other – over and over againAnd no matter where I've beenNo matter all I've seenI've had to witness it aloneWithout you Without youHow I long for usBut we’re wrenched from one another for now Two spirits serenaded by longingA mournful melancholic quiet songThe melody of unrequited lovers separated for so long I've searched for you on foreign streetsAnd within crowds of peopleI've come to meetI've been present and lovely Attentive and gladBut the longer I’m without youI grow inwardly sadI feel you on cool evenings Below the full moonAnd as I walk through the forest’s dappled Stillness at noonAnd despite this frustrationThe waiting and pain something tellsMe we’ll make itInto each other’s arms againMy loverMy heartMy friendMy truthMy loverMy heartMy friendMy truth Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

dcmarti1 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Not having found each other – over and over again Very emotionally charged and, hopefully, universally understandable by all. The repeating last 2 stanzas are quite appropriate for an ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 "I've searched for you on foreign streets/ and within crowds of people/ I've come to meet" Interesting concept: how busy lives and circumstance affect the most natural feeling of all.

tonyv Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Delivers, as stated on the tin, "The Longing of Love." Has that "ships passing in the night" feel, augmented with the lover's intense need to share.
