A Request

How have I been without you

It's difficult to understand

As tears roll down my eyes

And I stare at my empty hands

Still waiting for darling, holding my breath

To get a glimpse of you

And you are asking me, sweetheart

If I remember you?

You took a lifetime to return

Wondering to cross the bridge or burn

I knew you would come one day

As sweet nothing, I mentally spun

I waited and smiled, missed you and cried

Man, my agony can't you see

I am the same, the woman that you left

Come back and take me...
