I spent a lifetime
Waiting...waiting
For you to arrive.
I knew you were coming...
I could feel you
In the very air I breathed.
I saw your shape
In the clouds I watched go by,
And in the ripples of water
when it rained.
You finally came...
What joy,
What bliss,
What love.
Then...
In the blink of an eye...
You were gone,
Lost to me,
As though you only existed
In my dreams.
And I remember you...
The smell of you
In the very air I breathe,
In the shape of the clouds
I watch go by,
And in the ripple of the tears
I cry.
