And I Wait

Sometimes I'm tempted, tempted to call him over,

have him hold me in his arms, take away this lonely feeling,

but then I think of you, your tender caress, sweet words, warm touch.  

So I suffer this cold loneliness with images of you

running through my mind and wait for  the day I see you

and I wonder, wonder if you suffer, suffer the same for me,

make sacrifices for me. I wonder if you keep yourself for me

as I do for you. If you like me or love me, if you feel the same way I

feel about you. If you patiently wait for the day when you see me,

if your mind is filled with thoughts of me . If you think of the day

when our bodies embrace each other and our hands knot together to make one.
