Eternally, I Will Wait For You

Since our creation at the dawn 
of time, I have loved you
 MY perfect companion, my 
perfect love, my equal, my 
balance
 My mate, my one, my all. 
From the moment my eyes first 
opened, you were all I wished 
to see.
Strong, and fierce, drenched in 
first dawns light,
 A heavenly warrior, hard, 
proud, ready for battle.
Your armor gleaming, your 
sword in your hand 
 Your hair aglow around your 
shoulders, your eyes sparking 
fires
This is what I saw that first 
moment, what I always see in 
my mind
I see you standing just as you 
were at that moment
And I see nothing! Nothing but 
your eyes
In your eyes, I can see your 
love for me
Like the depths of the universe 
there for only me to see
When you look at me I know 
no fear, no doubt, no shame
Your eyes speak straight to my 
soul
With a language known only to 
us
I hear you speak without a 
single word
 I answer you in silence, 
For not a single word could say 
so much
I open myself to you, and am 
filled with you
I am possessed by you, 
claimed by you, loved by you 
Oh how I long for you, to be 
near you
To have you speak to my soul 
once more
I long for that oneness with 
you 
I yearn for your presence, for 
your touch
The time we are apart drives 
me 
Driving me mad with 
loneliness, with grief, 
Driving me mad with 
impatience for a day still to 
come
Yet driving me forward  
Pushing forward, forever 
forward, towards that day
That one day when we will be 
one again
Brief glimpses I am given, 
when your eyes seek out mine
And in those glimpses I find 
your strength
The strength to survive one 
more lifetime
And so, as I have before, I will 
wait for you
I have always waited for you, 
my love, my mate, my one, my 
all
Never have I doubted we would 
to be together, you and I 
This life time will go on, as did 
those lifetimes before
Each one another chance to 
hold you, to be held by you
Another chance to be by your 
side
So fleeting, so soon at an end, 
then to begin again
But eternally, I will wait for you
My soul forever yours
Eternally I will wait for you
