Waiting for you

Awakened by the alarm while I sleep;

the morning has begun, yes indeed.

Turning over to the kept sheet;

I realised, I regretted that I did.

What is the best wake up call?

one that brightens, make you soar?

It’s your presence, beside me;

with your big strong arms tight around me.

Am I expecting too much?

All I need is your touch.

Without you, I feel empty;

devoid of my life and sanity.

I miss your comfort and cheer;

when I’m scared, who’s gonna calm my fear?

It’s just so hard to be alone here;

when I’m sad, who’s gonna wipe my tears?

I know it’s me you love;

but you have duties to serve.

To excel in work, prove your worth;

and to your family at your turf.

I too, accept the blame;

uni life just ain’t the same.

The assignments are insane;

and reports pour down like rain.

Once, it all went our way;

we can meet up almost everyday.

My parents were both supportive;

now they’re against it, oppressive.

We have been together for four;

many obstacles but our love stood tall.

It’s been 2 years since you’re gone;

we hardly meet, only on the phone.

You have your career to foresee;

and I have my paper, my degree.

Only then will we be free;

to be together, forever will be.

For you and I to last;

there’s only one word- trust.

I have hopes to harbour;

and faith in you, my lover.

I’m lying alone in bed;

waiting, but you’re worth the wait.

I can only wish instead;

to see your face, when I turn my head.
