I'll wait for you

Each day, I long to feel your warm touch, your sweet affection,
Only truly satisfied when I’m yours and your hearts my possession.


Though rejection may linger, my heart will always stay,
I rise each morning eager, dreaming of you every day.

Misguided in the past by what I thought love could be,
I wandered through the shadows, feeling lost and empty.


Wondering why my heart felt like a fading, distant light,
Searching for the answers, with no hope I’ll ever find.

All my hopes of being loved became a distant fantasy,
Leading me to question if true love was really meant to be.


I came to terms with heartache, thinking love was just a game,
A fleeting, fickle notion, nothing to obtain.

Then, in divine timing, you stepped into my life,
From our very first encounter, my heart filled with delight.


You showed me real love, with no need for convincing,
Our hearts entwined so effortlessly, I found what my hearts been missing.

Yet beneath the surface, I battled demons deep inside,
In my struggle, I caused you pain, and your love began to hide.


How quickly a sweet melody can turn to disarray,
As if the devil beats the drums in a strings only symphony.

Then the pounding drowned the whispers of those I held so dear,
Pushing true love away that I looked for all these years. 


But here I stand, despite my faults, ready to wait for you,
Forever sorry for the hurt, for all the pain I put you through.

If I never feel your love again before my time is done,
Know that hope of us has kept me living on.


It saddens me to think of a world where we’re apart,
The day death shall come, may it take my broken heart.


But as long as I have air that my solid lungs can breathe,
May one day it be shared with you, with you right next to me.
