Waiting For Those Words

Waiting For Those Words In a moment of passion you asked me to love you ‘I do love you,’ my heart spoke, silently, ‘I love you’ ‘Love me.... love me ...love me...’ Your words brought me pleasure, our bodies entwined The words I’d been waiting so long to hear Suddenly silent as if waiting for my reply Our love, waiting to be acknowledged, the words waiting to be spoken ‘Speak, tell him,’ my heart demanded...then the moment was gone. It’s okay my mind told me, he’ll say it again But the months have flown by, now a year So many times my heart has cried out, begging ‘I love you, please love me, please know that I love you, please say it again’ We share many hours together, talking, making love It’s as if we’re one, understanding each other, Feeling each others pleasure and pain, disappointments and accomplishments Our laughter and tears intermingle, yet the words remain unspoken How long must this go on, this silence within the noise When will our minds allow our lips to say the words I need to know you love me, you need to know I love you Our hearts know, don’t they....why can’t we say it Sometimes I think, ‘What if something happens?’ What if one of us dies and you never know I love you What if one of us dies and I never know you love me What if...... please say it.... don’t let us live or die without knowing What is this awful waiting game we’re playing Waiting for the right moment, the right circumstances? Waiting for the other to say it first? Waiting until there’s no more time to wait?... what a waste What a waste of precious time Our lives are getting closer to the end Closer with each day, each hour Is this our destiny, to be always in limbo with our love.....waiting?
