The Wait

This aching
This longing
This needing of you
This emptiness that grows with each passing moment of your absence
This want to touch you coursing through my veins
This love for you embedded in my bones
How do I stop my heart from beating
How do I convince you to come home
To return to my arms where you belong
I will wait
I am waiting
I only know to wait
For you are worth every moment that passes to me
Even if you don't come back
Those moments belonged to you and only you
I would give them to no one else
I would surrender my soul to walk by your side
I would walk through hell if only to hold your hand
My love I will wait
For I know no other way
I will watch the stars and wish for you
And pray for your return to me
Please return to me
Please come home
