when I reach for you

when I reach for you

and you are not there

I descend down the stairs

to a basement of emptiness

where memories come

and even though I know

all of this longing

brings me undone

will i chose to go?

or hold fast

to my trust in love?

is this a Universal test

I want to give you the best

of me

and not be drowning in fears

and yet its true

when you are gone my heart longs for you

and that precious day

when finally you will

come and stay

by my side

is it just a hopeless dream

or can this one day become

a living loving reality?
