This is the kind of love I always wanted and still hope someday to find


A Lasting Love

A Lasting Love

I lie here in the dark
A golden flame shines from a bayberry candle
The ancient rune of love carved into the dark red wax
Mistletoe hangs over every door and window
Spirits watch and pray
On the pillow next to me I see you
Your eyes shine with a love never known
Your lips want to be kissed and your skin glows in the faint light
I feel you breathe
I hear your soft sighs as you dream
It has been long for both of us
Tainted by mistakes of our youth
Years, no decades, we suffered
Knowing that each other existed
Yet never able to find the other
Our souls drifted
We searched, we dreamed and we had hope
Now, in this darkened room
I look at you in the darkened room
As you sleep beside me I see what I need to really live
My love for you and yours for me
A love that will last forever and a day.
