WAITING….

I wait for the day I feel your touch
looking to heaven beyond the stars

waiting and watching for a sign
waiting and wondering

will it be this time?

I met you once in another time and place
you took my hand and we went off to a place
where we and my son had such a good time

I woke up wanting to cry

the same as every night I wish you were with me
pleading with the heavens to bring you to me

I go to bed every single night
dreading the day hoping this time
when I wake up I’ll finally see you

Not just in my dreams
but right here

in this room
