I long to love you 
but don’t know quite how 
It seems the harder a try 
the more damage it does 
Drawing close to you 
actually pushes you away 
…slowly we are drifting apart.
I want to be closer to you 
to share life’s moments each day 
But instead we just coordinate 
the daily business, each of us going our own way 
This is not how it’s supposed to be 
and yet I intend to stubbornly insist 
On sticking with you, 
on showing you how deeply I care 
On loving you daily, 
whether I feel like it or not 
…until my love is so clear,  
it draws us back together. 
I long to love you 
but it doesn’t seem to be working 
at the moment, during this time. 
But my faith is strong 
I believe one day things will be better, 
I hope I’m not wrong 
One day, you will truly see 
how much I long to love you.
