Wishful Thinking

Tear stained paper
Leaves evidence of loneliness
He's lying beside me
Yet he isn't where I want him to be
Being together isn't what I dream
I want to be connected
More than the physical aspect
There is so much more to be discovered

I'm sick of knowing
The feeling of neglect
I want two hearts
To join in perfection
So to brighten this life of mine

When I look at him
All I know to do is smile
His presence alone brings me joy
But still, something is missing
The passion I long for
Simply isn't there
So while he sleeps quietly beside me
I cry upon these desires
The expressions of my heart
Have seen these tears a million times

I exude happiness to the world
But inside I'm left yearning for more
No other man has ever held me so
He is the only one that I want
More importantly, he is all I need
Yet I need more from him
He exceeds the physical requirements
But attendance is only a portion of my plea

When I look in the eyes of this man
I want to feel his love
For there is nothing more beautiful
Than the heart's conviction
I want to witness love's passion
Dreaming simply isn't enough
I long for this fantasy to meet reality
As I awake to the morning sun
I look over and silently pray before he wakes
I pray for him to be my dream come true
