When Loneliness Knocks

Its delicate lines express the pain of longing and the desire for reunion, resonating deeply with anyone who has ever experienced love and distance.

O heart! If sorrow shattered you, are you aware?

Or is your head bowed, chained by despair?

The world tore you apart, didn’t it see?

This pain that roots within, do you feel it’s free?

Separation so easily tore us asunder,

Does this distance ever make you wonder?

A lifetime I hoped to unite with you—

Oh love! Do you still hold my heart as true?
