A Whispered Prayer

Spend my days waiting…
Dreaming of him.
My every wakeful thought
Of when I may see him,
My every waking dream
Of when I might hear his voice.
I am falling into an abyss
Of emotion so deep I cannot breathe.
My heart skips a beat
When he tells me he loves me.
I am lost in his eyes,
Consumed by his love,
Drowning in his light.
I cannot face a life without him
All my dreams,
All my thoughts,
All my hopes for the future,
Therein he stands,
The center of it all.
I close my eyes
And take a deep breath.
Trying to tell him how I feel
I stumble
On the rocky memories of the past.
My soul screams his name,
As a tear trickles down my face.
My life is empty, cold, and bare
Without him here at my side.
So I whisper a prayer to the stars,
Pouring everything I feel
Into 12 little words:
“Please let him be the one,
Please let this love be real.”
I bow my head
And pour out my heart
As the stars twinkle in the sky above.
I hope and I pray
That sometime soon,
I can be wrapped in his arms,
Feel the touch of his lips on mine,
And hear him whisper, “I love you.”
