I LONG AGAIN

Oh, I am so old now, death is so near

And within grows the only fear

Fear of parting from your slender arms

Those held each time to pacify my qualms

And at times when I rejoiced, 

Just being held made me poised

I lived being held by you, all my life

And you lived to behold me as my wife

I wish thus, not to pass on but want to live on

But life isn't so nice, its far very cruel

Coz, when reminiscing you hug

I just realized what I didn't realize then

The deep breath you took

While passing away into tranquility

And I am not happy here, alone

I long again to be held in your arms
