Answer

There is no difference between 'long for' and 'yearn for', except that 'long for' is used more often.  The meaning is to express strong desire for something, while to 'look forward to' is to anticipate something that you expect will happen.

Answer

Examples; I long for summer to return
 I yearn for you my love.
I look forward to a lovel dinner tonight.
