I LONGED..... (poem)

This is a poem I wrote in my OB(organizational behaviour- I am wondering if I really should have been so specific. :D) class. It was something that came very naturally. I hardly made a mistake while writing it. It's a SENTI poem, so bear with me. But it is dedicated to all the wonderful people in my life, without whom I would not have been what I am today. Cheers to all of you.( I am sure they know that I am talking about them. Mom, dad, brother, my family..... my three best friends and my other really close friends.)


I longed to be better
I longed to strive
I longed to see someone
with a smile to bribe.
The bribe to help me
to do better in life
A hug to encourage
A kiss when I cried.
I longed and longed
turning it to need
Then, as time passed
it turned into greed.
And then.....
Then, I found you
to give me the shoulder
to be my guide
Giving hope
to all that had died.
Life turned
For I fell in love,
in love with all
you had in store for me.
The smile, the hug,
the push, the kiss
filling up the hole
my heart had dug.
Now, as I am away
I long for the touch
the familiarity of the hand
clasped firmly in mine
but the sound of your voice
proves to be just fine.
Cherish the times
Soft and fragile as a feather
and have the faith
that we'll be the same together.
Now this moment
propels me to say
that the longing
has finally gone away.
My heart filled
thoughts high as a queen.
Hope these words tell
Just how much you mean.
