Waiting for Daylight

This dark time I lie awake at night My body trembles I feel you there But somehow I can’t seem to find you Like I can in the sunlight This isn’t right Where are you? You’re right here; I know it’s true But how can I find you? Sure, I see you in my heart But I need you in the flesh Come out to me I need you My love Why must you tease my emotions this way? Keep me yearning for the daytime Why do you stay in your hiding place? Come out and hold me Touch my tear-soaked face And if only once, for just a few moments Kiss me and make it deep Tell me you love me I faintly hear you in the distance My heart shudders at the thought of your presence I slowly turn around You aren’t there Explain my ghastly hallucinations Please baby, come out and face me Should I give up? End this constant struggle within me? Sit alone and hug the wind? Or should I continue my journey? Searching for your scent Searching for your lips To kiss And take me to that place I dare not speak For to say it aloud would only make me weep I need you here Can’t you see? I’m constantly yearning Even in the dark time So please come out and face me now Because I need you always Not just in the daylighta poem eric and i wrote together Written January 16th, 2002 © on Jan 16 2002 09:00 AM PST    18 • 0 • 1
