The black wall stares back at me
As I stare even harder

This isn't what I wanted in my life
So why am I letting it be this way

For the longest time now I think I've always known
That you and I were meant to be

However as I shed some light on my words
I take in even more said from you

The ceiling seems to be coming for me
Enclosing to where I stand now

Your voice was what captivated me
To believe every word that you've said

To feel your arms embrace me
Thats what I long for once again

The floor begins to feel like quicksand
Leaving me imprisoned in its presence

You still dont understand how I feel do you?
With every word at the tip of my tongue I'm speechless

There is no door, there is no way out
Only you can save me now

For every night that we don't speak I lose hope
For one less day without you, I lose faith

So I await the day that you will speak to me
I long for the day, when you will come for me

Rescue me from this burden I layed upon myself
To have so many years wasted, yet always needed your help

I intend not to waste anymore time
As I have realized I want you to be mine

However to me its so much more than that
The need to have you in my life, is the simplest way to put it

The real way is that I can't live without you
I assure you theres no more mistakes needed to prove for us to be together

But what would it take for you to come set me free
A price, a bargain, all that I live for?

Sometimes its easier to say what we wanted
Than to keep asking for more

As the walls are closing in
I'm left with nothing but time

Once again I would ask of you
Please forever, be mine

For whether its a day or many years
Something is better than nothing

If I knew of my last day to be tomorrow
I wouldnt waste it living in sorrow

I would have you here right beside me forever more
For you are the only one that I long for

So as the light in this room starts to fade
I'm still not sure if my debts have been paid

The thoughts are endless running through my mind
Of course as there all of you, for the last time

To have everything from you just one last time
To know that forever you'll always be mine

Hold my hand and never let go
Touch my face, wanting to do so

Run your hands through my hair
Touch my skin, even when its bare

Take every chance to look in my eyes
And one last moment to wipe my tears as I cry

To kiss me and tell me what you have to say
That one day soon we'll be together, it'll be okay

And as I open my eyes I see that I stand alone
With nothing holding me but the arms of my own

I look in the mirror and I see noone but you
So this is where we are after all we've been through

So far away but together only in my dreams
For once I wish I could convince myself this isn't as crazy as it seems

But for two people who long to be together
Will do whatever it takes, even if that means waiting forever

I long for the day when we'll be together again
Until that day is to come our story will never end

I sit in this room staring at nothing but my picture of you
As you invade my dreams that I wish would come true

As I cry and I cry, and wipe the tears away with my hands
I wish it was yours instead, because you would understand

Then there would be no tears
There would be no nightmares or fears

I long for the day when you will hold me again
To wake up beside you as much as I can

My dream to finally become my reality
I long for that day when its just you and me
Finally the way we both wanted it to always be

You leave no doubts about the source of your longing and yet I think the key to success is just what you express in the sentence I quoted.

May your dreams realize, but maybe chances grow if you "let go and let God" ...

Nicely written.
