My heart craves for love

by Aster Shail Vas (16)

I never imagined I would be away from you,
Every step I took was always beside you.
I fell, you picked me up.
I cried, you made me laugh.
I tried to jump, you held my hand.

When the world is upside down,
And my heart is beating loud
That is all I want,
My heart craves for love,
My heart craves for love.

Every day is incomplete,
If you are not there.
The moment you leave,
I start missing you.
I fight, you let me win.
I lose, you look into my eyes
And make me believe that I am the one for you.

When the world is upside down
And my heart is beating loud,
That is all I want,
My heart craves for love,
My heart craves for love.

When you lift my feet off the ground
Spin me around, you make me crazier
I walk away, you hug me tight
I love you, you love me too
That is all I want,
My heart craves for you.
