Overdue Love

Waiting for the sun to set,
And the stars to come out and play,
So we can dance together,
In the dark night til day,

Watching the sky,
And the heavens above,
I'll wait for you,
To be my love,

My heart beats for yours,
I breathe because you are here,
I'll love you always,
Through each year,

You push away my hurt,
And bring a smile to my face,
You're a lasting memory,
That won't be erased,

Holding you so close,
My soul begins to melt,
To have someone so special,
Like nothing I've ever felt,

I want to tell the world,
How much you mean to me,
Then we could be together,
In front of everyone to see,

My love will never fade,
Nor get blown away,
My feelings are strong,
And there here to stay,

When my hand is out of reach,
Just remember how much I love you,
And that we will meet again,
For a love that's long overdue.

Dedicated to Scott Clarke.
