Lonely days and Silent nights
Are coming close within my sight
I see them wondering around
I feel them near and within bounds
I run away in fear of darkness,
Yet the shadows follow me every where
Its only time that teaches patience
& the distance is my biggest school
Ive gone away from my home town
A place I believed was my only home
Only to find myself thousands of miles away
Wrestles, knowing no one
But my very soul
Its hard I know to take that step
& even harder to show no regret
I miss a lot, & I know not where to start
Would it be the streets?
Or is it the warmth?
Could it be the people, or may be my home?
Is it even my country?
I question myself, clueless of the answers!
I know not what my heart really wants
I only know I want to rest
Find a warm hug to run too
A stable life to lead
Children, to fight for
And a husband to belong to!
Why is it so much to ask for??? Why?
I guess sometimes life teaches you a lot
Yet the hardest to me is loneliness,
What I miss most is having you close,
You who Ive always believed to be by my side
Some time it has been since weve last connected
I know I have not been my best lately,
Yet my feelings for you can never change
You can take away life from me
I will never stop believing in you
The power you give me. . .
To cure my very heart
That bleeds the pain of distance from loved ones
The guidance you show me, when Im totally lost
Or just feeling your presence in every step I take!
You are my one and only reason I go on. . .
No matter what happens I know youll always be there.
I owe you a lot, yet the least I can do is . . .
To thank you for loving me that much!
Thank you for accepting to be my guiding Spirit
I write not your name in fear of Envy
Cause no one could come close to your love for me
Thank you is all I can simply say
Knowing that words are only an expression of our feelings
Yet our attitudes show what words can never put in letters
I know that with you life always goes on
Perfect to the ones who want to see it that way!
And awful, to the ones who make it their choice!
Ive had lonely nights surround me
Yet I pray to you, knowing youll make my wait worth while!
