I long to love you
And let you love me.
To have you so close… close enough to touch…
To wake up with you beside me
When dawn starts to appear.
The time has come, though,
Where night draws near.
And with the fading shadows
I think of you and my past
Haunts me…
My hope for us runs thin.
But, I won’t give up that small glimmer
That says we will continue together
To share our hopes and dreams again.
I want us to again to weep,
To cry, to rail against all, and…
To laugh together– experience joy.
I wish for this
Because life means nothing
Without love and trust, together with
A hope and a Dream…
