Can I hold you now,

Or must I wait,

A day, a month, a year,

I will wait patiently,

Until you say you are mine.

How slowly time passes now,

In a world without you,

Biding my time,

I wait here alone,

Until you say you are mine.

The light is fading now,

My eyes are losing sight,

Sleep beckons me,

I drift into the darkness,

Until you say you are mine.

My nightmare is stronger now,

Creatures stalk my every move,

No matter the obstacles,

I will yet live,

To hear you say you are mine.

All the fear is gone now,

But emptiness surrounds me,

Like a heavy cloak,

I will be lonely,

Until you say you are mine.

How can I repay you now,

For all you have given me,

There is but one way,

I will hold you,

You have said you are mine.
