I Long

I long for better days.

And to forget the yesterdays.

I long for peace.

And for this heartache to ease.

I long to see the sky again, I long to see the sea.

I long to hear the birds, I long to hear voices and words.

I long for the little things in life once more,

Because nothing is the same as before.
