I'll Be Waiting

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 15, 2013


Rest easy, sigh no more,
when you come to a place you don't know
ask me where I think you should go.
You must trust what's held inside,
don't let fear grab the hopeless in you
just know that there's nowhere
you'll be alone.

I'll take you by the hand
only if that's what you'd like in the moment,
midnight wishes upon a star
and me believing I'll hold you close.
Even though days may not run too far,
the sun will try to lift us up 'til our necks
feel the sky.

Make it a journey with little time to spare,
because I know when I walk towards you
I'll never want to stop...I'll be loving who you are.

And I can see that this might be ages from now,
yet I still dream, painting a shadow of your heart.
You could be across the world or underneath my eyes,
but when God calls our names, I know it will be right.
For it's just me imagining but I write about you here,
my first love, how you'll be the sweetest promise.
Little will make us doubt.

Make it a journey with little time to spare,
because I know when I walk towards you
I'll never want to stop...I'll be loving who you are.

- Written firstly as song lyrics but I think it can read as a poem too, hopefully :) I was inspired by the folk music of Mumford & Son's song "Sigh No More" and their style of music.... Thanks for reading!

    I love the sweet and tender tone that I read in this piece.. it's calm and it fills the heart, really, it warms me in this cold weather, it also gives me an smile. The sweetness, in this lines

    "I'll never want to stop...I'll be loving who you are."

    I'll take you by the hand
    only if that's what you'd like in the moment,"

    taking in consideration what the other person wants and how the other person feels, unselfish.

    That's what this poem calls when I read it. Beautiful.

    Ohhh MA...as you know I don't always comment due to time restraints but always read..and your work always amazes me..but this, this I had to say something.

    This, is beautiful! Just beautiful.

    "
    I'll take you by the hand
    only if that's what you'd like in the moment,"

    These lines really stood out to me, because I'm one of those people that HATE being emotional in front of others or showing any feelings, I prefer to keep everything hidden and not let anyone see what I truly need...even Andy struggles reading me after four years! And this really hit home for me as sometimes even though I don't WANT it, it's what I really need.

    "I'll never want to stop...I'll be loving who you are."

    This. This, oh this. This melts me. Completely. Isn't loving someone all about loving them completely, no matter what flaws they have? And this line reminds me of this....that you will love them no matter what.

    I adore the repetition of this, it works so well in this. I'm completely in love with this. Added to favourites, and will be one I read constantly.

    And I truly believe this could be written as both poetry or lyrics!

    Oh how weird, I have Pandora radio on and Mumford and Sons song just came on....

    Maryanne this has melted me....seriously melted me.....I can't even comment to be honest and I apologize for that, but I want you to know how wonderful I think this is...such passion for someone in this piece, it makes people want to be in love and always tend to the one they love. Never stop reaching for them..

    Just brilliant!
