Always by Joyce Wallace
I've always dreamed
of what it would be like
to say that I am truly
in love with someone,
to be able to say out
loud "I can't live without you,
and my world would have
no meaning
if you weren't in my life."
I've always been too strong
to admit that I need someone,
someone to hold my hand
and walk beside me,
to catch me if I fall
and lead me if I am lost
or frightened.
I've always been afraid
of showing my true feelings,
to open up my soul and
let my heart
feel what it's really
like
to give and receive
the honest, unconditional
love
that it's been crying
out for.
I've always longed
for someone not just to
say the words
' I love you '
but to see the love in
his eyes
and hear the loving tone
of his voice
when he speaks softly
and feel his adoring caress
that shows how deep his
love truly is.
I've always thought
that this real love was
just a dream,
something out of a fairy
tale
that would never be mine....
until there was you.
I will always cherish
your love....always.
