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 Kate |

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