EXPECTANCY GROWS

I nightly sleep with you
and you are not here;
my arms are filled with
new precious memories.
of you and your sweetness.
My eyes are staring at you
but you are far away;
my lips gently touch yours
but it is only a dream.
The moon shines in my eyes
the night winds whisper in my ears
the blessing of loving you
makes every wish stronger.
I awaken with sighs knowing
you aren't here
and my expectancy grows.
Oh how wonderful is this expectancy.
