Waiting

Gazing through the midnight dismay,
To the other side of life,
I sense the approach of a long lost friend--
The owner of my hollow soul shall return.

Like the crescent sliver in the heavens above,
Such is my love for you--
Distant, yet infinitely wondrous in its splendor.

Candle gleaming against the misty pane...
The flame I keep concealed,
Blazes just the same.
In its warmth will you always dwell.

I shall be waiting for you...
