Aching Desire

Yesterday I held your hand, gently I pressed it,

The tender softness and fingers fat

From my soul, I welcomed it.

 

But today I sit alone, sad and discontent;

Must our golden days know?

The flames burning within, pure and holy

 

Yesterday I walked with you, could I ask any better?

Life was all a lyric song

 

Oh, today is like a mournful song, longing for you

Passing by slow and dark

 

Let me place my arms around you, let me feel the same dear joy

As when first, I found you.

 Let me again repeat my steps, let my heart and mind and soul

Ignore all the present.
