I KEEP WAITING

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for him to come walking thru the door,

Saying "Hi" in that sexy voice & give me a hug & a kiss.

Putting his work things away & begin his evening at home.

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for him to come walking thru the door,

& asking what's for supper, I'm hungry!

I tell him & he says sounds good. 

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting, 

Waiting for him to come walking thru the door,

to tell me of his day & to ask me about my day.  

Lock & chain the doors to the world outside. 

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for him to come walking thru the door,

To say how tired he is, to hear his tired sigh, 

And hear him sit heavily in his chair. 

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for him to shower & put his pj's on,

To come to bed & lay there looking at each other, 

To lay there holding each other as we go to sleep.

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for us to get together with family,

For the phone calls, texts & emails.

Waiting for what once was. 

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Waiting for the forever love,

The love that we promised each other long ago,

Wondering what happened?

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

Wondering what happened, 

We beat the odds so many times,

Why not this time?

It's been 23 weeks & I keep waiting,

The first time was for life, 

The second time was for eternity,

That is my love for you.

It's been 23 weeks & I'm still waiting,

My love for you is eternal,

Always & forever,

Til we're together again.
