Truly, Deeply, Madly

Will I wait for you
in slumber of night
or industrious measure
to realize your desire

In joy, in hope, in love
an opening small but there
to let me in and hold me
to value who I am

Will I wait alone and lonely
for you to come round again to
hold tight all that I am or will be
and watch me as I come round again

To find you waiting
to pick up life again
not that pale existence
previously lived

Yes, I will wait for you
with deepest passion
biding there with open arms
'til you come round again
