More than Loving

In waking hours

To dream of you,
Behind closed doors
And masked from view.
To hear words echo
Around my head
Of all I felt
And never said.

 To dream of love

That lasts forever,
And know that we
Will stay together.
As one to live
Till life expires
And terminates
Our joint desires

To find an answer,

Cold, forlorn.
Lacking someone
To keep them warm,
And offer love,
Love to receive –
The one who doubted
Now believes.

To whisper truths

That say so much
And hope you’ll always
Be in love.
With honest hearts
That seem to know,
To say ‘I’ll never
Let you go’.
