Sway

Three words uttered from out of the blue,

Seemingly ordinary for some, 

But lovingly yearned by me.

A heart that longs, 

Desperately pining

To lay beside you, love.

Wrap these arms around you.

Always waking and find you're nowhere near me.

I sigh forlornly,

Bitter tears dampen my pillow

Haunted by your scent.

I stifle a cry,

Muffled the heart's whimper.

And then in the darkness,

I feel your arms enclosed mine.

Tugging me near,

Softly, gently

 Holding me close to you.

In the rhythm of your heartbeat

Swaying me to soothe my fears.

All my life, 

I have never heard

Words more beautifully spoken

As when I heard you whisper

"I love you" tonight.
