Everyday I wait for you is like a knife, stabbing at my heart

The sharpness of the point piercing at my flesh

Making the blood that flows within me poisonous 

Carrying the ache from limb to limb 

 

Running like a movie, scenes play in my head 

When our eyes first met in that longing gaze 

As if we were long lost friends embracing one another

Never wanting to let go 

 

From the time when we first spoke 

A simple exchange of hello and goodbyes 

Your voice so lulling and calming 

Made me even more enthralled in your beauty 

 

Then there was that one special moment 

Making me feel as if I was on Cloud 9, floating with angels 

Your hands in mine, swaying to the sound 

Warmth filling my whole body 

 

A magnetic pulse jolted me, shocking my heart 

Like I was being awoken from a dream 

Sparks seemed to be flying everywhere 

With my eyes closed, I swore I was in a dream

 

But when I awoke, I came to reality 

You standing in front of me, that enchanting grin

It wasn’t a dream, you were really mine 

Though only lasting for a second it was all I needed 

 

From that moment on I couldn’t let go

You had to be mine, you became my obsession 

I was enthralled in your presence, but presence became the issue 

Distance was the barrier to our hearts  

 

Somedays, if I listen carefully 

Your voice speaks to me gently 

Telling me to relax and breathe 

Reassuring me that space means nothing

 

Now everyday I wait for you is like a knife, stabbing at my heart

Willing, striving to endure the pain 

But everyday I wait, my love for you grows stronger
Everyday I wait, is well worth the pain
