Because I Do

By pessum ire animus

You say, if you Love something
           ....enough
   To let it go,
It'll come back to you. .
And I've,       waited,     so
       M.a.N.y.       years
  For that day

This day, the one tomorrow,
       And forever more

But it hasn't come yet
                     But {soon}
  I hope, I pray
         That I can just
            HOLD 
               You
In my arms
For one night
Wake up, and know       that
That, you're still... here

See you're beauty, in[si]de and [out]
And know that you love me
    as much as I do you
Without Fear, without Regret


But. Tonight, I sleep alone
            Not by ambition
    more of Valor
Of something I can't explain

Because I know that theres
        (how I wish it weren't)
  a time, a place, a right time.
For everything.
           
                                     For You.

This situation, so close,
     so many miles away
Just a grasp away,
     just another inch

But I know you're not ready
      And I'll be here when,

     You are




Beacuse the Only thing,
  what I really want to hear...

Is...

I Love You.

Because I Do.

    This is heartbreaking stuff, if that's alright to say. A haunting feeling of unrequited love and the angst that's sure follow. Exquisite write.
