This piece is a poignant exploration of longing, love and hope. The lyrics convey the singer's yearning for connection, symbolized by the shared intimacy of coffee for breakfast and warm cups of tea. The repeated references to 'Charlie in the rain outside' seem to allude to an absent loved one, adding a sense of melancholy. However, there is also a strong undercurrent of resilience and self-reliance, particularly in lines like 'I raised myself and that’s alright'. This song beautifully encapsulates the complexity of human emotions - the simultaneous existence of loneliness and strength, despair and hope. It reminds us that despite life's hardships, there are simple joys to be found in love and dreams. #Longing #Resilience
