Longing
by Stacey P. Wilson
I’m so sad and lonely
I can barely catch my breath
The thought of being alone again
Scares me half to death
I want what I can’t have
I don’t want what’s mine
I’m getting older every day
Running out of time
Can’t make a bad decision
Because I hate to be alone
But I feel that’s where I’m headed
If I pick up that phone
Lord, send me my angel
One who knows my hopes and dreams
Who loves me more than anyone
Who loves me just for me
I miss just holding hands
Speaking without a word
Sharing all the little things
Knowing I’ve been heard
It seems worse to me right now
Because I’ve had love before
I know just what I’m missing
And it makes me need it more
I’ll hold on tighter this time
Finally, now I know
Lord, send me my angel
I promise I won’t let go
