I've Been Waiting

I have been waiting for you

Like a child waits for their mother's embrace

You wrap me in your warmth 

And push loose hair strands from my face

You leave me lilacs each day

Creating a fast growing collection 

Until your soft, warm winds

Carry clean, fresh life my direction

Your sunlight kisses my wounds

Hidden in a long winter's storm

I've been waiting so impatiently 

For you to take your form 

But here you are at last 

And how I've missed you so

I've been forever cold

And I beg you not to go
