Litany of Longing, Part II: The Waiting
O I think I shall never see
a couple as lovely
as you
and me...
And I hope
I get to see it
because right now
I’m not sure if you know I exist.
Well,
you know who I am
but maybe you wish
you didn’t.
And that’s sad.
It really is.
So sad
that I could cry right now.
I could cry
‘til my tears
fell to the page
like rain.
My pain
is no laughing
matter.
So don’t laugh.
Just admit I’m right
and come running
to me
right now.
Come into my arms
and let me love you
and let me Cherish you
and let me kiss you Forever.
That’s all I want.
And I think I’m right.
And I think you’d agree
After one night with me.
Because...
“I think I shall never see
a couple as lovely
as you
and me...”
That’s my song.
That’s my story
(and I’m stickin’ to it).
Dontcha know...
Oh, you know.
You know the size and
girth
of my Love.
You know how I pray
to God above
for Him to bring
us together.
You know how I cry
alone in the night.
And how my tears
fall
like little pearls
just wishing
they could fall
into your hair.
We need each other.
We belong together.
Our Souls
need to merge...
I need to possess
your Heart,
your Being.
God I could make you so happy.
Some say I can’t write.
Some say this is sappy.
Well,
they can go to hell.
They don’t know
my pain.
They don’t know
my Sacred Longing.
They don’t know
what I know.
And if they knew,
they’d say I was right.
For...
“I think I shall never see
a couple as lovely
as you
and me...”
So goes my story,
so goes my song.
Some say this is going on too long.
And they can go to hell.
They’ve never looked
into your lovely brown eyes.
They’ve never made sweet
love to you for hours on end...
Well,
I haven’t either.
But I can imagine.
I can yearn.
And O how I Yearn.
I yearn like I was made just
to yearn.
Like I was born to make love to you.
Which MUST be sweet
which MUST be good
Some think I should stop this now.
I don’t think I should.
I think I’m just
getting started.
My Heart is just
getting warmed up.
My Heart knows
no bounds.
My Heart is as big
as Argentina
and New Zealand
put
together.
(That’s big!)
My Heart is big because
it was made
to Bleed
for u.
That’s true.
Ooh
ooh
ooh.
I love you.
And you love me
(or you should)
and we can be one big happy family.
In the meantime
I wait.
And the hours
go slow
like the rain
dripping down my face
the last time I stood
in front of your house
for twelve hours.
Or maybe thirteen.
You never showed.
But still I didn’t go.
‘Cause I love you even though
you seem to ignore me.
Yeah, it’s hard
but I know it’s only a matter of time.
But time is like torture.
Like Chinese water torture
(whatever that is).
Like all the different shapes
that Chinese noodles come in.
That’s the number of ways
I want
to love you.
Yes, I do.
And
I know I’m right
because...
I think I shall never see
a couple as lovely
as you
and me...
And I hope, how I hope
I get to see it
because right now
I’m not sure if you know I exist.
But you’re my Angel,
my Salvation
from
above.
(Let me give you my Love.)
Your kisses
must be like
kisses from angels.
Your touch must heal all sickness.
Some say I have
too much Pain for just one man.
Some say I have
too much Love for just one man.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe I do.
That's why I'm saving it,
saving it all for you.
O you were meant to be mine.
It’s only a matter of time.
But I feel like I’m all tied up in twine
as I wait here for u.
