The Wait

I sit staring into space
With a sad, lonely, look upon my face.
I feel as though I've been alone for years and years and years.

My thoughts are filled with you
And all that we've been through,
But I cannot stop the travel of those solitary tears.

These arms need you to embrace.
These eyes to see your smiling face.
Yet through it all, for you, I wait.

We've had laughter in the sun.
Cried our tears and had our fun,
While our destiny lies within the hands of fate.

We've had hopes and high desires
And our passions burned like fires,
As the days and months and years slid swiftly by.

But alone and in my bed
With a pillow 'neath my head
The need of you overwhelms me and I cry.

How I ache so for your touch
And the voice I love to hear so much,
That's the reason why I'm able to carry on.

When I'm close in spirit with you
There is nothing I can't do
'Til I realize the fact that you have gone.

Then into loneliness I fall
As I hunger for your call,
As I have for all these years and years and years.

So when I'm tired and spent
Then my fears are given vent
That's when my face gets wet with solitary tears.

Will we be together soon? I cry.
Please don't let our love die!
This I beg the fickle hand that we call fate.

As I sit in our memory filled room
Amongst the gathering gloom
I rock myself in loneliness and wait.
