Until You Get Here
i know you're out there
i feel your warmth spreading from the place
i'm sure i haven't found yet
i know the day will come
when the emptiness i live in
will be filled with your arms
filled with your light
filled to the brim with you
and i'm sure it's coming soon.
i know it's just the waiting
that fills me with this ache
the longing for your embrace
pains me even as i sleep
i'm sure i can wait just a little while longer.
i know that you exist
your presence is apparent in each moment
i feel a smile enter my eyes
i'm sure you'll keep it there.
but until that you
that i'm sure i know is somewhere
on your way to my door
i'll just pretend to hug you
until you get here.
