Waiting

Elle McGugan
Five years I have waited
Too long for my heart
He tells me he will be here
Yet we remain far apart

I long for his presence
I need only his embrace
I want nothing more than
To feel his touch on my face

He once was so near me
His breath I could feel
My heart is not sure now
If our love is quite real

And yet I hold on to
The power of his vow
He promised he will be here
Yet he still is not here now

Tomorrow will save me
From my lonliness and tears
Perhaps he will come to me
After so many long years

I will forget all the heartache
All the pain of being apart
When he comes through my door
He will awaken my heart
