If Waiting Takes a Lifetime...

When I felt your first kiss in May
I knew it was worth the wait
Standing by in silence whenever time permits...
I command my heart into the abyss
I will wait till forever
And once again feel your warm embrace.

Moments of happiness I let my heart accept
The lull of patience do always pass me by
Between my wishes in life...is YOU and ME...
Constantly wrapped in love, wherever that may be.

With tears I shed, when sun is up and sets to dawn
My heart is locked up with YOU - but I will never know
When in the midst of longing...I cry in pain,
God knows how much I ache, when the sky pours out the rain.
