FOR LOVE'S SAKE
by Susan Christensen
I'm so tired of this empty feeling.
I'm so tired of being alone.
I lay here staring at the ceiling,
Waiting by the phone.
I jump when the phone rings.
It brings a smile to my face.
When he hangs up my heart stings,
And I sink back into my lonely place.
I wish and I dream
That we'll be together soon.
I can't wait until we can look up hand in hand
At the stars and at the moon.
I yearn for his kisses
His touch - His embrace.
I can't wait for Thursdays
When I get to see his face.
I'm flooded with thoughts of him
In my heart, soul, and mind.
I imagine his touch,
So gentle and kind.
I try not to weep.
I hope he doesn't hear my cries,
But I can't stop the tears
Falling from my eyes.
I cry a thousand tears
And think - how much more can I take?
But in my heart I know I'd wait a thousand years
All for love's sake.
