Waiting

I spent each passing day waiting for the moment.

The sands seem to never empty to the bottom.

The swim to the shore was hard and treacherous,

But the end makes it all worthwhile.

Each second spent without you is torment,

Each hour killed a part of me.

I tried not to put you to mind to ease the pain,

But each time I closed my eyes, I saw your smile,

And each time I opened, them I missed your lips.

When I look to the heavens, the stars spell out your name,

And when I bow to the earth, the flowers resemble your everything.

The thought of you kept me faithful to my promise.

I dreamy of you nightly and it kept me strong.

The challenges I went through kept me in chains,

But now I�m free, I�m coming home to you.

After all these, only one shackle remains,

I�ll still spend each day waiting forever for you to love me too.
