ALL I COULD HOPE FOR
It was that same voice I had heard many times, It took me back to another place when you were still mine. I could see the love in your face, This was something that time could not erase. I could see us together all those years ago, The look in your eyes the soft sweet glow. I could hear your heart, like the whisper of the Sea, Do you remember when you still loved me? We talked for hours yet said not a word, Yet those memories of you my beating heart heard. This thing I had waited for seemed like such a long time, Those golden years, when you were still mine. We had parted all those years ago, With each passing year I missed you so. We each went on trying to fill the empty space, Yet nothing or none took take your place.
Without saying a word we knew all would be well, Once again I was under your spell. You are all I could hope for and so much more, I give you my heart with all my love, its you I adore. Our sweet love we no longer have to hide, We will walk through this life side by side.
