Wanting and waiting

In my heart

There is a space for you

But sometimes living

Crowds out this love

When you demand of me

Something difficult

Stretching me beyond these limits

Of possibility

Remind me again

Of all the ways my soul was bruised

And then become the wave

That shatters my skin

Revealing those hidden places

Where I longed for someone like you

For so long

There is a space for you in my heart

It grows deeper

The longer that we are apart

And when you say

I do not care if I die

If I can just hold you for one day

I feel that wave breaking

Over my head

Who knows if it was destiny

That led us so far along

This path of ups and downs

Twists and turns

Where we both discovered

How much we had to learn

About love

And longing

Wanting

And waiting
