A Lifetime

People wait a lifetime to meet that special someone
What if you find him/her and its just wrong timing
Would you wait
for the right time
I will and I am
This love is worth ever
Year, month, week, day, hour, minute and second
The kiss we share is like the fourth of July
You see the beautiful fire works but hear the boom seconds later
The hugs are like your face on Christmas morning
When you were 10 and spotted that new bike next to the tree
The conversations are like sitting with Nikki Giovanni
Learning all you can in a short period of time
When I walk to the car, you always trail one or two steps behind me
I wonder is it to watch me leave but still embrace my presence
Leaving the love of your life for just a day is hard
But for months and even years is like dying
The sun rises over my bed
I feel your arms around me
When the sun sets
I hear a whisper in my ear (I love you)
keeps me warm every night
When the seasons change
I know with every leaf that falls your heart is with me
When the snow flakes start to come down
I know your soul is with mine
When the trees and grass come out of hibernation
I know you are holding my spirit tight
When the sun is so hot and bright
I know you are the cool breeze keeping me cool
A lifetime is a long time
I’m willing to wait
I’m willing to wait for the love we deserve
I’m willing
I’m waiting
