"My Heart Aches"

I thought I knew heartache well,
but this is even deeper/worse
than any I've encountered before.

I long to truly be with you,
to hold your hand, to hug
you close to my achinig heart.

Being without you makes me
feel stranded; waiting on standby
for the biggest flight of my life.

I don't know how to say this
when we're waiting time out,
but what I thought I could, I did.

This feeling leaves me open to hurt,
but it also lifts me up and
encourages me to live my life.

I'm wondering if could became did
for you as well as it has for me.
My heart aches for it to be so.
