There is a comfort in longing for
Something that's gone forever.
It shows how much that something
Meant to you when it was here.

To a person who claims
To never having had anything.
They can be confronted by
The empty space where something once was.

I could only remember feeling so bad,
When the present time was passing by.
Looking back now I realise,
That the best and worst times in my life
Could coincide.

My greatest achievement is also my greatest loss.
The best thing I ever had is forever gone.
Forever gone...

It is a dark and fulfilling feeling of frustration.
To reminisce and feel the opposite of anticipation.

It is a talent of the soul
To discover the joys in pain.
Thinking of moments you long for,
Knowing you'll never have them again...


A moment of euphoria,
Inspired by a photograph from that summer.
I remember how we hated everything,
And in that we managed to find comfort in each other.

Those days are gone, my heart goes on,
I long for the way it used to be.
When summer comes it will return.
That feeling will become again.
It comes on strong and so fast,
But you know that it won't last.
It's just the hauntings of,
The ghosts of summer's past...


And though they are far behind me...
I can still hear them calling...
As if they were right beside me...
Tempting my comfort in longing...
