Quiet is my Longing

I miss your smile
And radiant eyes
I saw before we parted
Last night

Your hands casually
Waving goodbye
As if knowing
They will embrace me
Once again tonight

I miss them
With tender heart
And inner sigh

Quiet is my longing
In its quest for you

Like the dormant moon
In the midst of day

Knowing I will see you
In the wake of sunset

As ever in its stead
The moon will too
