689 (I miss you)

About a friend

We are spent
We are driven to discontent
But we are different -

I recognized secret flaws in me
I sought my refuge in Christ's mercy
You threw yourself into eternity -

I still look for you
I wait for you too
But I will never see you, O! the truth -

I wrote you a song
Poetry to encourage you on
Where did it go wrong? -

Nights without slumber
Feasts without taste
A thirst with no satisfaction
I miss you -
