Waiting

I wait for you
Late at night
In bed
On the couch
For a message
A text
Anything

It does not come
But I wait
Am I in love?
I believe I am
I can’t wait to talk
To exchange ideas
To experience the person that is you

I’ve felt this way before
But differently
With you there is a true connection
An unspoken bond
A deepness
Conversation not one-sided
Love and respect
Seen through typed words

When we’re together it has almost a solid presence
You can touch it
Feel it
And know that is real
Not a phantom
Not a sham of that which it is not

Do I love you?
Yes
Deep inside
I grow more to love you
Everyday
Missing you
Deeply
Wanting you near
Wanting you here

I dream of you
Beside me
In bed
Out
Facing life together
A team
Against which we will prevail

Am I just dreaming
Or is it real?
Do we have this entanglement
Of emotions and souls
That lead to something greater?
Do you know?
Do you think?

But again alone
Am I this night
Waiting
Hoping
Searching
A message
A text
I wait still
Patiently
For you
