waiting

Felicity

you've been waiting to hear
or see or smell or touch me
and i'm no longer afraid
of what you might do
for i am sure enough now
as sure as i ever have been
of what you are about
so never mind what they think
i know you laugh too loud
never mind if it's awkward
they'll never understand
your timid soul or your rage
never mind that you forgot
to tell me all the tender things
that you meant to say
because we have all the time
in the world
and forever into the night
to tell each other
all hopes/dreams/fears/triumphs

when i hear of frustration
or someone demanding of another
i know the love is not right
it should be a flow
and a beautiful energy
give/take,push/pull,ying/yang
i will never ask of you
nor should you of me
just tell the truth
and the honest emotions
i promise i will too
i want to fill you up
not drain you empty
i will never give up on you
because all i ever said
or promised
is yet to come
hide me inside your heart
in whatever you do
and i will keep you here in mine
apart from the pain of life
but in eternal love and goodness

what else is there for us
except to love the best
and hardest we can

yours always,darling

coleen

i adore the gentle and tender way you write love felicity.
