Saudade

You close your eyes to see it and smile
This way you can be there again for a while
Beautiful marks someone once left
Oh, it is missing, missing so bad
It’s the heart telling where it longs to be

It can be wild like a hurricane
The lack of something driving you insane
No need to remember, it’s always in mind
You look around, around, around
But cannot find

A far away friend
A childhood smell
A weeping, a weeping chest in a farewell
A sound the ears want to hear
Something you wish could reappear
It’s the heart telling where it longs to be
Your crying calls for that lap
The days get longer, an endless gap

Sometimes it comes with some regret
Like you should’ve chosen better words and better acts
All of this is not enough to bring it back
It’s not enough
The loved one is gone, the love stands
The sad color of an absence
All of this is not enough to bring it back
It’s not enough to fill this hole so deep inside
It’s love and loss
