I feel as if I am lost in time; waiting for you to return to me. The longing in my heart has shifted,tangled around a post that is connected to a storm of my own destruction. Waiting for the end and wondering if my heart can handle the pounding of the force of time. I know with time the storm will again come. With the heartbreak and the loneleness, the hurt of the love I once found with you. My dreams have been shattered, my love for you has brought me to this point in my life. I sit here at the point of watching, the rain and the clouds, the smothering of my being.
If only the sun could shine for me once again, in my life, in my heart, and in my mind. Shine the way it did when time stood still for us, when we knew real love. That was once the only important thing in the world to me.
I continue to wait, as I have always waited, until the storm is over. Praying the light comes again. But not the light of day, but rather, the light in your eyes. The light of love that was once there for me. I long for that light the way it was before the raging storm took the place of my love in your heart.
