You came and filled a gaping hole in my heart
I rejoice at your words, for through them I hear
Your heart, mind, soul, all that you are
Yet I am still incomplete
There's still a piece missing, a chapter of the story yet to begin
The one that goes 'and they stood tangled in the embrace
Oblivious, on that first day of Forever, of the world around them
A world they felt they could now conquer, just by the joining of their hands'
Time ticks on slowly as I realize I can't skip ahead
All I can do is face the storm
And let the droplets that fall on my face
Carry my silent tears down with them
And tell msyelf that one diay it will be
The warm touch of your hand, and your gentle kiss
That will dry those tears forever
One day I'll lightly touch your face as I'm learing its expressions
One day silence will be comfortable, inexpensive
And speak louder than words
But until then I'll treasure the words
And the memory of your foice as you speak them
I'll take the seconds as they come, and I'll dream of you
Until the day Forever begins
