Unveiling Longing's Journey

Lyrics

For years I've waited

Expressing a long period of anticipation

For a sign that indicated a spark

Waiting for a sign indicating a romantic connection

In your eyes to show me path which to embark

Seeking guidance and direction in a relationship

It never came so I stayed in the dark

Not receiving the expected sign, remaining in uncertainty

Just come with me and let's grab ourselves a drink

Inviting the person to share a moment and open up

Maybe then you can tell me what you think

Encouraging the person to express their thoughts


On the walk home, it got cold

Describing a cold weather during the walk home

And the snow came falling down

Snowfall creating a serene atmosphere

And with no sound around

Quiet surroundings during the snowfall

Her hand came to mine

Physical closeness, holding hands

As we walked slow in time

Slow and synchronized movement together

Watched our breath turn to smoke

Observing breath turning into visible vapor

And the moon knew with it's glow

Moonlight adding a poetic touch to the scene

Our walk home, it would be slow

Anticipating a slow and prolonged walk home

And drawn-out

Emphasizing the extended nature of the experience

Still dug in my mind is the still of the night

Reflecting on the stillness and calmness of the night

And her words as she spoke

Recalling impactful words spoken during the night


She said, I admire spending time with you

Expressing admiration for spending time together

There is nothing I would rather do

Affirming a genuine desire to be in each other's company

The tone of her voice told the truth

Noticing sincerity in the tone of the person's voice

And it let me know

Realizing the truth conveyed by the tone

To grip tight and don't let go

Emphasizing the importance of holding onto the relationship


For years I've been pushing water with a rake uphill

Metaphorically describing a challenging journey

And haven't stopped to think of my mistakes

Reflecting on past mistakes and lack of self-awareness

It took you to open up these eyes

Credit to the person for bringing clarity to life

That maybe I've been doing something right

Recognizing positive aspects in one's actions


On the walk back the sun rose

Transitioning to a different phase or perspective

And I chose a different path

Choosing a new direction with acceptance

And was alright with that

Being content with the chosen path

My sight would be blurred as I moved on forward

Facing challenges with a slightly obscured vision

With my mind stuck in trance

Continuing forward with a focused yet contemplative mind

Am I naïve to believe that someone wants me for me

Questioning the genuineness of being wanted for oneself

And only me

Expressing uncertainty about exclusivity in desire

I can't be too sure yet already I yearn

Yearning for a renewed opportunity

For a second chance

Desiring a second chance in relationships


Heavier weighs lost love over time

Acknowledging the significance of patience in love

Good things come to those with patient minds

Optimism about positive outcomes for patient individuals

A foraging mind only seeks to find

Expressing the active search for emotional fulfillment

A provisional plug that barely fills the void

Describing a temporary solution that doesn't fully satisfy
