She waited to run into his arms
for him to walk through the door
in her lace negligee
she waited all day
for midnight she prayed
to hold him in her arms once more

Intimate dinner for two
bubbly champagne on ice
while the time ticked by
past midnight she cried
alone on her bed
alone on her pillow
one last chance
to say good bye

But the night drifted on
like the tears in her eyes
wondering if he
was dead or alive
she discovered the dawn
the dawn of a new day
packed her overnight bag
and like a dove flew away
back to reality
reality of someone
waiting
just for her.



"If music be the food of love, play on."  (William Shakespeare)

(big hugggssssss) Awwwwww, I know this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, though I have found the girl of my dreams Joanna, I live far away from her and yearn to reach her because she is the one I need! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The sadness of a love that was lost or ever had is captured in your words.

Oh, I have had this night, it is a long one, isn't it? I could feel the waiting and the anxiety all over again. You did this extremely well.
