Alone

Love is a many splendoured thing,
at other times it can tear you apart,
can totally mess with your feelings,
and sometimes it can break your heart.

Many miles may separate us,
and so does that window of time,
but is it so bad to miss someone so much,
is it really that much of a crime?

Now I know we're currently "on hold",
like a couple of callers waiting on line,
just waiting to get connected,
and I'm hoping that one day you'll be mine.

I'm sorry that I'm so impatient,
but that's just the way that I'm built,
sometimes that impatience gets the job done,
at other times all I'm left with is guilt.

So I'm sorry, I really am sorry,
I didn't mean to push you so hard,
but life can leave you a trifle weary,
and sometimes a little battle scarred.

So my precious gift of love to you,
is all the space that you need,
but before these lines are finished,
I'd just like to have one last plead:

Do you know that some days,
all I do is miss you so very much?
I miss being by your side,
how I miss your tender touch.

Do you remember Lake Tahoe?
a wonderful evening, a magical night,
it was then that I truly believed,
that eternal happiness was in sight.

So, just know that I love you,
and that I'm sorry for pushing you too far,
I'll do my best to give you your space,
and let you be who you really are.

I'll be waiting patiently,
for you to pick up that phone,
because I don't want you to leave my life,
I don't want to end up all alone
