I wait and I wait for a message from you,

Though I know that you're busy, you've got stuff to do.

You might be out of sight but you're way on my mind

And I try to be generous, not to think you unkind.

~o~

I glance at my watch, I'm still here all alone.

I keep looking for mail and, again, check my phone.

I try to stay upbeat and not to feel blue

But I'm all on my lonesome and thinking of you.

~o~

I find myself antsy, not quite able to rest

And you've been so silent, it feels like a test.

Our lives carry on but that's not about us,

I should just keep my mouth shut and not cause a fuss.

~o~

But I need your attention, a kind word or two.

Are you thinking of me like I'm thinking of you?

Do you miss my presence, my words and my voice?

I can't get you out of my head, I've no choice.

~o~

I wish I was near you, could reach out and touch.

I want to say nothing but I crave you so much.

Your hands on my body, your tongue on my lips

I'd feel almost dizzy, your hands on my hips.

~o~

Even though you're not with me, you are here in my head.

There's so much to say yet so much left unsaid.

I want to be with you but that can't transpire

And we knew just to try would be playing with fire.

~o~

The way that you look at me makes my heart soar

And I know that it's worth it, but still I want more.

I know that you love me, I know that it’s true

You can bank on the fact of how much I love you.

~o~

Yet to choose life with you means to live life alone

And I can't 'unremember' the things that we've done.

I love you my darling and wish we were free

But freedom's unfair when it can't include me.
