Waiting
Excitement is the sparkle in my vein,
A tingling, secret, effervescent hope,
That sneaks up on an unexpected moment
To tantalize my senses with your name.
The drumbeat of my heart pounds out a hum,
The rhythm of the tires upon the road,
That carry you toward me with each second
That passes, as I drift beneath the sun.
Like a child awaiting dream's fulfillment
Anticipation will not be restrained
I pray your gentle heart will still be loving
And grant the tenderness that my soul craves.
I long to lie within your warm embrace
And watch again the sparkle on the sea
So as you bridge the distance that's between us,
I hope that you have not forgotten me.
