I would meet him

I would meet him
But there's no way, so on this moonless night
From my yearning the embers of my love
Send sparks leaping in my breast,
Setting my heart aflame.

    Man, this hits hard... "From my yearning the embers of my love, Send sparks leaping in my breats, Setting my heart aflame." Spot on! Can relate to that feeling..

      Wow, talk about heartache. Anyone know what she means by 'yearning'?
