When one you love is not near
And their absence has grown familiar
Thoughts of them drift in and out
Like sparks from a campfire
Recollections strum heartstrings
With a touch as gentle as sunlight
Bringing longing as strong as a wildfire
Or as far off as a sunset
When one you love is not near
And their absence has grown familiar
Daydreams become reunions
As bright as flickering candlelight
Their spirit inhabits all you see
Passerby smiles becomes your love’s
A kindling you remember being far away
But here it is with warmth for your cheeks
When one you love is not near
And their absence has grown familiar
You wait for the fire’s spaced out crackling
To become a rapid rhythm
I Am Saha
