I woke up this afternoon
with a deep craving in my heart
your the only thing
that could satisfy it's appetite

I visually dream
having you at my side
life gets so lonely
when you live so far away

I have my regrets
working at night
but my mortgage gets meet

all I can do
is think of you
here I am so wide awake
don't know how much more I can take



I don't get home until daylight
cause I work straight through the night
often times I stay a bit late
falling into your arms I await..


why go home to an empty bed
so I chose to work overtime instead
my children, both grown
with lifes of their own

the only relief that I get
is putting thoughts of you in my head
when I miss your call on the phone
I feel so alone

I allow your message to replay
soon all my lonely thoughts go away
I would much rather have your arms enfold around me
but for now this is how it must be
so it seems
black and white within our dreams


even though I crave your touch
and there isn't anything more that I want
but still things I will not rush
SO..

I pray to our Lord
for guidance of my heart
once you and I join
we will never be apart....
