All For Love’s Sake..

I’m so tired of this empty feeling,
I’m so tired of being alone,
I lay here staring at the ceiling
Waiting by the phone..

I jump when the phone rings,
It brings a smile to my face,
When he hangs up my heart stings,
And I sink back into my lonely place..

I wish and I dream,
That we’ll be together soon..
I can’t wait until we can look up hand in hand,
At the stars and at the moon.

I yearn for his kisses,
His touch – His embrace,
I can’t wait for Thursdays,
When I get to see his face.

I’m flooded with thoughts of him,
In my heart, soul, and mind
I imagine his touch!
So gentle and kind.

I try not to weep..
I hope he doesn’t hear my cries,
But I can’t stop the tears,
Falling from my eyes..

I cry a thousand tears..
And think – how much more can I take?
But in my heart I know I’d wait a thousand years.
All for love’s sake …!
