I, I, I, I.
Have always been alone in my thoughts.
Always wondered when you would come along.
Impatience banged on my door,
Sadness crept through my floors.

You, You, You, You.
Stumbling over uneven rocks.
Fishing for fulfilment between the cracks.
Loneliness surrounded you,
Silence engulfed you.

I searched for you.
You hid from me.
But I still searched for you.
On and on we strolled through soft, deep ashes of sand,
Leaving footprints in meaningless directions.

Through pain, through
Sleepless Nights,
through dark, rainy Winter days
I could see your light shining brighter than Venus.

Finally, you could ease the pain.
You made me realize I was not in love before.
For I was foolish once, but not this time.
Not any more.

I cannot sing
So I will write
for this is my only device.

My love, my sweet,
sweet love.
This is for you,
These words are for you.

My heart is for you
But it does not belong to you.
I am not truly madly deeply in love with you but
I love you.
I love you for you.

Loving you is knowing how to exist without you
but to exist with you in my mind.

Loving you is storing my memories of you
in my heart, not my mind.

Loving you is keeping you close to me even when I am gone,
and when you are away
I will wait for you as time ticks by
I will wait for you as your silence engulfs me
I will wait for you in the dark until I see you again shining bright.

I will wait for you in a deep dark room of empty space,
drapes drawn shut,
cobwebs masking every corner,
dust veiling me,
where silence will be my only companion.

I will wait for you
and I hope that you find me, my love.

Talking to you,
Being with you,
Waiting for the sun with you,
is the best start and end of my day
Because

Your presence,
your existence,
your effortless ways
to keep me happy

I cherish the most
for this is the only time we have.
