A HOPEFUL LONGING

21 4 16
                                    

I stand beneath the starry skies,
A thousand dreams within my eyes.
I think of you and softly yearn,
For love I hope one day you'll return.

I trace the path that leads to you,
Each step a wish that might come true.
Your laughter lingers in the air,
A melody beyond compare.

You glance my way, and time stands still,
My heart awaits your silent will.
I wonder if you feel it too,
This quiet love I have for you.

Though distance keeps your heart away,
I hope and wait for that sweet day.
When you'll look back, your heart unbound,
And in my arms, your love is found.

Until then, I will dream and sigh,
Beneath the endless, waiting sky.
For in this longing, hope won't lack,
That one day soon, you'll love me back.
