Beloved

No, I´m not ready
But I´m getting there
Solitude is my only friend
Always present
Through the good and the bad
Aloneness has followed me
One day I´ll be there
And you´ll be here
And we´ll meet in the heart of love
And I´ll be forever yours
Till then I wait alone
So many thoughts of you
Good thoughts, simple beauty
Blooming within my soul
So delicate are my desires
The wild ecstasy is dormant now
In distant dreams of our youth
Now my fantasies are richer
Something from out of heaven
My desires are gentle
To touch your face, to see you smile
To love you kindly, slowly
To taste your worry
Seize your stress
I don´t know where to start
In the beginning
When the pain was new
The agony simple, sweet
We were kids, running wild
Proud, shallow, irresponsible
Still I loved you wholehearted
I was there when you called
You were mine if I asked right
I cherish the times we danced
Kissed, touched, held hands
Walked together for a short while
I melted in your arms
Now the seasons have swallowed us
You´re in your own primavera
With your plans and your reasons
I´m in a world anew
Filled with hope and possibilities
Waiting to do, dreaming to build
A world for these children
To get them off the streets
Into a harbor of peace
And you are there
Giving of yourself everyday
Teaching, reading, learning
Shaping your life, writing your story
Giving of your soul for their welfare
I pray you´re healthy and happy everyday
That you´re loved and taken cared of
My young love, always in my thoughts
Forever in my heart, stirring in my spirit
For you I shed a tear
Of compassion, unconditional love
That´s what I hold for you
Your friend,
A.M
