I wait for you
Alone in this darkness, so far away
the thoughts in my mind...are memories of you
Your warmth and passion..your embrace
Your voice, so soft and caring..tender
I wonder tonight..where you are
Do you think of me..long for me?
Though it isn't right.. you're in my heart,
There are miles that separate us
And keep us so far apart....
I long for you, one so kind and true
It is hard at times to go through
the night without talking to you....
hearing your voice, your smile
as they come across the many miles
I find myself wanting to be with you
Pretending that I'm touching your
face, holding your hand..
As we walk together along a beach,
the ocean waves and sand
Maybe on a mountaintop
or by a quiet river stream
Walking through a forest
to a river's edge, I dream
Looking out over the valley's distance
from a perch on the mountain ledge
The where doesn't really matter..
just that you are here with me..
Whispering softly into my ear..
Speaking words of love, only I hear
Caressing me softly, holding me near
Stroking my skin, my back and my hair
You're not so far away..in my mind, you're here.
But as I am here in the dark....
in the cool of the night
The images in my mind
are the fond memories of you..
and for you....I wait
