The Longing

A hole in my heart

A space for another

Don’t know where to start

The search for a lover.

A new place to explore

With new friends to meet

I would like something more

Than just to casually greet.

Are you friend, are you not?

Do I misunderstand

Is there more to what we’ve got

Than what I’d first planned?

A misconstrued look

And avoiding your gaze

My head in this book

To hide the truth on my face.

I know it’s important

To focus on Him

But in this assortment

It all turns into din.

How do I get back

To a right heart within

Without going off track

Or where I’ve already been.

So I’ll just fix my eyes up

To the cross of our king

And try to be wiser

When it comes to flirting.
