To You I'm Waiting For



I wish I could meet you soon
It has been so long since my heart,
Beat high and low,
From land to sky
And somewhere in between
Stopping when a smile
Brightens the day.


When I close my eyes
I see you with your cat smile
And your sad eyes.
The careful move of your brows
As if asking,
'Did you miss me so?'

Out there in the snow,
I see you waving,
Stretching your hand
To me.
'Come away with me.'
I will.
Come to me.




I look up to you,
Tip-toes to embrace you.
I love the tall you,
It makes me want to
Stretch higher--
Meet you halfway.
Love you.
Love me.

I want to read your letter,
On paper;
On e-mails;
I want to hear your voice,
On the phone;
In person;
Come to me.
I wait for you.


Your hands so warm,
To hold them everyday.
Feel your sweet embrace,
As the tears fall;
Or the laughter bursts forth.
Hold you until we grow old,
Be with you.
Stay with me.


I want to touch your
Lovely, lovely face.
Your hair so soft,
Sliding through my fingers.
The brush of your lashes
On my cheeks,
As you whisper,
'Come away with me.'


To see you laugh, cry,
Away from public eye.
Maybe get angry and sullen.
Shocked, happy--
Hoping never heartbroken.
But if ever you are,
Hold on to me.
I will see you through.


Sing for me,
Dance with me,
Sway me until we fall down.
Whisper as we look
At the flowers all around.
Then be silent,
And remember the good,
Also the bad.
Laugh at it all.


Fight with you,
About everything and nothing.
Exercise of temper,
and of intelligence.
Wanting to win;
But caring not if we lose.
For in the end,
You reach for my hand,
As we ready for slumber.


Let's play together,
Like kids that we are not.
But age does not matter,
Even if I tease you
For being older.
We are kids.
Kids in love.
As the snow falls,
And we surrender.


Let's live far away,
Together.
Enjoy the noise and fun,
But return to our comfort.
Where the house is warm,
Even when everywhere else,
Is frozen white.
Awash in warmth, the fire in our hearts
We hold hands.


Surrounded by music;
Music that we love;
Old ones, new ones,
Music that makes us cry;
Makes us dance;
Fills us with silly thoughts.
Play the strings;
I will play the piano.


Let us open our world;
To others.
Share the gifts; the love,
The smile, the music.
And make someone's day better.
'Come away with me.'
'Stay with me.'
I will.
Come to me.
Come to me.
Come to me.
