I feel like I’m longing for something
That is already mine.

A piece of me that slipped away
Gone with my last life’s breath.

The longing aches deeply inside
A yearning stirring in my soft belly.

If only I weren’t afraid to speak it
Expose the truth I think we both know.

Then maybe I could reclaim you
If only to feel like I’m finally at home.

Instead I lie awake and imagine
The full moon lulling me into fantasies.

Are these really fantasies?

Or are they memories reawakened?

The longing only grows stronger
With each revolution ’round the sun.

But I’m waiting for you to say it
To confirm what I’ve known all along.

I’m ready to be vulnerable again
If only you could finally tell me.

Tell me what I already know
I want to hear it directly from you.

I want to know this longing
Really is for something that’s mine.

That’s been mine
Perhaps for many, many lifetimes.

Then I could finally return home
Bid the moon adieu.

Return this longing I feel
And replace it with you.
