As I sit here alone pondering my life
and wondering which path I should take
I anxiously await your arrival to me
and dream of the love we will make
Longing for a companion, a soul-mate and friend
one with whom to share my days
I can’t stop but feeling so helpless at times
and all of my thoughts turn to haze
The joy and excitement that runs through my being
so very quickly becomes immense fear
And though I can’t explain exactly how this can be
I so much wish that you were already here
So let’s try to dispel our doubts and insecurities
for the future is there to embrace
For I love you, you know, and can’t wait to hold you
to touch and kiss your beautiful face
