There is a comfort in longing for
|
Something that’s gone forever
|
It shows how much that something meant to you
|
When it was here
|
|
To a person who claims
|
To never having had anything
|
They can be confronted by
|
The empty space where something once was
|
|
I could only remember feeling so bad
|
When the present time was passing by
|
Looking back now I realise
|
That the best and worst times in my life
|
Could coincide
|
|
My greatest achievement is also my greatest loss
|
The best thing I ever had is forever gone
|
|
It is a dark and fulfilling feeling of frustration
|
To reminisce and feel the opposite of anticipation
|
|
It is a talent of the soul
|
To discover the joys in pain
|
Thinking of moments you long for
|
Knowing you’ll never have them again
|
|
A moment of euphoria
|
Inspired by a photograph from that summer
|
I remember how we hated everything
|
And in that we managed to find comfort in each other
|
|
Those days are gone, my heart goes on
|
I long for the way it used to be
|
When summer comes it will return
|
That feeling will become again
|
It comes on strong and so fast
|
But you know that it won’t last
|
It’s just the hauntings of
|
The ghosts of summer’s past
|
|
And though they are far behind me
|
I can still hear them calling
|
As if they were right beside me
|
Tempting my comfort in longing
|
