I wake with each new day
Hoping that this will be the one
Eager to find that you've written
Or that you may call
That once again I may hear you're sweet voice
Silently I anticipate
The next time I'll see your smile
Or hear your laugh
The next time you'll give me that look
The one that say's it all
When I can once again stare into your
Bright beautiful eyes
And tell you how I love you so
My mind knows the day may never come
Yet my heart will not give up hope
My soul craves the connection it once found
My body starved for the passion
That once overwhelmed
Needing you once again
With silent anticipation
I dream this day may be
However,
Silently I lose hope
As the days quickly become weeks
And the weeks turn into months
I know I should move on
But my love will not fade
Lying in bed at night
I often whisper your name
Hoping for you to hear me
Anticipating your answer
And with each new dawn
I once again awake
With a breath of hope
And a sigh of anticipation
Today it just may be the day
