Waiting

I have spent my life waiting for you

Meeting many great souls along the way

Life had excitements, progress and gains

Sadness and disappointments also held sway

I centred myself and learnt to love me

I cared for others and threw off my chains

Made my own happiness learned made some gains

I didn’t fall in love easily

My heart stayed intact

Had some flings agreeably

But always felt a lack

I knew you were out there somewhere in this world

Then I met you and saw you smile

I felt the draw, the lure of you, my equilibrium disturbed

I want to walk into your arms, for you to hold me close

I know I will feel both safe and exhilarated, even without a trial

I long to feel your heart beating next to mine

Feel our breathing mesh, with time

I have been waiting my whole life through

Waiting for the miracle that could just be you
