You Have Mail


My breath comes in quick gasps, my heart to pound
Oh how my ears prick up on hearing that sweet sound
My eyes take on a very special sparkle and open up wide
These signs of my excitement I couldn't even try to hide
My mouth which has lately been drooping and rather sad
Breaks into a smile and I laugh as if i were a little mad

My hands begin to shake and I tremble as if I am cold
Oh how I miss you, I miss having your hand to hold
My lips part as if they can feel the memory of your kiss
My arms feel so empty knowing exactly whom they miss
The joy of signing on and seeing that I have some post
Hoping desperately that it's from whom I want it most

I fear the moment of discovering that the sender isn't you
This feeling of desolation it cuts me through and through
My head that has for those brief moments lifted up high
Sinks into sadness and my heart begins again to softly cry
This waiting is something I really believed that I could do
All I can hope is that your love for me will stay ever true

I'll continue to wait in my own and rather lonely world
My love will be like a rose with its petals tightly furled
Eventually this time will pass by and become my yesterday
Others may try but they're simply not you, what can I say
You may think I'm silly to believe in a love that is true
But it doesn't matter what others say because I love you

Marsha, give you a thought, and you make it into a dream come true...

Nothing like receiving mail from the one that holds your heart and I know how you feel when the wait for snail mail keeps the anticipation lingering.  Wonderful write from you my friend and president. Hope your mailbag holds for you what you are waiting for and that the holding of hands is soon back to you as well.

Kethry, Thanks love, my time will come, and I'll just keep holding on until it does.
                    
Kari, Well, you had the thought first love, and I still say the original is far better. What's that saying imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Take care

Tier, thank you here's hoping.  

Charisma, thank you it is isn't it. (The film is really good and I did enjoy it)  

Mark my friend, Mmmm it's one of those things that my mam was always saying, that patience is a virtue. Still I never had any then and I think I've got even less now. Of course it may be that the letter that I'm waiting for disappeared when we were flooded here. I do know that the Post Office was under several feet of water, so who knows. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones, won't I!
                          
Take care

'Deer, sorry, you must have slipped in while I was replying. Thank you very muchly. I do appreciate it so very much. As long as the admiration isn't from anyone who works in a hospital. I know I'm bias but then I would be.  
Take care
