Longing for You

Waiting have I been—
Long enough for the sun to rise
In the morning,
And long enough for the sun to set
In the evening—
Heaven knows how much longer
I’m sentenced to linger...
Heaven knows what
I’d do In that era!

And oh, the moon my heart has raced!

Aged has my heart become,
But still I want to wait.
With great patience
Has the northern wind Murmured in my ears…
When I started to doubt
Your promising words.

Confused I was not, but worried I was.

Unclean thoughts—From the East and the West—
Have troubled my soul
And rendered my heart weak.
Oh, a burden of fire
Have I brought upon myself!
Despite all the unbearable burdens,
And irresistible temptations,
I still want to wait for you.

For my heart belongs to you only.

Since you’ve been gone,
I’ve been longing for your charming smile
And your love. It’s not easy, you know!
Very easily have I sometimes
Succumbed to petty things…
But I still know what I want
And that’s you.
Be my moon,
And brighten my nights.

Longing for you have I been.

I’ve realized that You’re part of me—
And I’m weak without you—
And I should cherish you
More than I used toFor the days are shorter now...
And the stars are fading away.
If there’s a time for redemption,
It’s now and not tomorrow.

Be mine, and let us be one soul!

Sometimes one need to leave
So he can learn to appreciate
The other one.
Life isn’t easy
That’s a thing we have to consider
Every single day of our life.
We can’t always get what we want in life.
And it’s hard to accept that…
But we can learn to live or deal with it.
This is the reason
I still want to wait for you, Hephzibah
For I have nothing to live for anymore…
