when I lay myself down

maybe one day, maybe then
I will see you in the street
looking only my way
and walking only to me
with a ‘I am here to stay’

maybe one day, maybe then
you will take my hand
and send shivers unto me
with just a gentle exhale
setting my soul finally free

maybe one day, maybe then
we will feel in the now
a too good to be true
a shudder and shake
a letting go inside you

but until then….

I will lie on my bed
close my eyes
and pray
that I find you tonight
in the moments of my dream
where you are mine
and I am yours…

where I can say…
I missed you today

    Not in dreams…..
    not.
    Walking the pathways of solitude…
    meeting new eyes…of solitude…
    awaking the energy of the solitude…
    Looking for oneself’s reflection….
    of the solitude.
    Some new morning…
    someone will be there…
    to mix up the solitude.
    Rosa

    The aching in this is somehow balanced by the hope it has as well…...If this is more than a wonderful verse and a part of where you are now…..it also speaks to me of healing.
    Heartfelt ….writing that doesn’t hold back. XXXX
