With the fall of the night the whispers return
Sweet lingering wishes fading off into the night
The ticking of the clock echoes through the house
Reminding me of time passing so slowly
Out of nervousness perhaps I rub my wrist
The ink staining my scars reminding me to hold onto hope
Such sweet hope, a drug like no other
With each passing day I am brought closer to the edge
Of being alone in my own company
Life seems to have paused as I wait for you
Secret messages sent back and forth, stolen moments
Offer a small comfort until we are one once more
In your arms I will find myself which I thought lost forever
As I sit watching the storms above in the sky
My mind creates a thousand different worlds for us
In which we are free to live our lives as we choose
The sweet summer air is thick, heavy upon my chest
Yet I feel so light, so free of my old misery
Hope has unlocked me from my darkened cage
As I sit waiting, knowing you'll be back for me
The whispers of the night seem like old friends
Talking of a love so rare, so strong
No force of man may break it apart
A smile creeps upon my face as the wind brushes my skin
Reminding me of your touch grazing me lightly
Soon a memory it will be no more
Soon my love, soon.
