After a Long Time-Song

 After a Long Time

 

Waiting to meet her, meet her
After a long, long time

Waiting to see her, see her
After a long, long time

So excited to see her, see her
After a long, long time

Longing to hold her hand, hold her hand
After a long, long time

Yearning to hear her voice, hear her voice
After a long, long time

Dying to speak with her, speak with her
After a long, long time

Craving to hold her close, hold her close
After a long, long time

Dreaming to kiss her, kiss her
After a long, long time

Counting days to be with her
Counting hours to be with her
Counting minutes to be with her
Counting seconds to be with her
Counting every heartbeat meant for her

Restlessness has taken over me
Only her presence can set me free
Though our hearts are closer than before
This distance aches — it’s hard to ignore
Her presence is the cure, her words the balm
I wait for the waiting to end, and for the calm
For happiness to bloom, at last, in my arms.
