Longing to Love

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.
