You come to me in dreams,
You tell me,
"Just wait."
I see your eyes
In the flames of the sunset.
I feel your arms
In the embrace of the night.
I hear your voice
In the whisper of the wind.
But with each waking day,
I am more alone.
~
I wait for you, impatient.
I am restless.
My heart paces the widow's walk
Of my mind.
Each time I dream of you,
The chasm is more defined.
I know you.
Who you were.
Who you are.
But I don't know who you will be.
So I watch for the shadow of your eyes
In the eyes of each passing stranger.
And I listen for hint of your voice
In each "hello, my name is..."..
And I wait.
Alone.
