Day After Day

Oh love, it is you that I long for

A thousand days and nights gone by

That I endure for a thousand more

Simply for a mere chance

For us to not part

When the tides flow by.

Oh love, would you see it,

The things I put myself in

Only to hold onto

The pieces binding us together?

For I have forgone my usual needs

Like sleep and food and contact

To stand by the tower every night

To beam a signal that my heart beats true

That only you can receive.

For I may be selfish

As to forget society and the world around me

And admittedly apathetic

To whatever role that was handed to me

Only so I can be proper

With my unquestioned devotion

That I can be yours and yours alone.

Spending time with you

Day after day

And to merge my soul with yours

Night after night,

If this is not what desire means,

What is?


Damn, it's Monday and I'm still missing that special someone. Sometimes I recognise how inchoate I am but I hope the purpose and reasoning is enough to overlook the faulty delivery. I hope that someone would know it as well.
