If I could change the currents of our lives
To make the river flow where it’s run dry
To be a prodigal of father time
Then I would see you tonight
If I could find the years that went away
Destroying all the cruelty of fate
I must believe that love could find a way
Tonight
Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I’ll wait for love’s sake
One day to me, love
If I could see beyond the here and now
If you could hear me calling you somehow
If I could know that love is reaching out
To find you with me tonight
Then hope could make these promises come true
Beyond what I could say, what love can do
With every moment leading me to you tonight
Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I’ll wait for love’s sake
One day to me, love
I will stay forever here to wait for your love
If I could change the currents of our lives
To make the river flow where it’s run dry
To be a prodigal of father time
Then I would see you tonight
Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I’ll wait for love’s sake
One day to me, love
Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I’ll wait for love’s sake
One day to me, love
One day to me, love
One day to me, love
I will stay forever here to wait for your love
… hard day today and this song played a few times… it’s a terrible feeling when the reality of being apart from one you love, rather, the one you love implicitly, completely… your best friend… when that reality pours over you again and again like cruel crashing waves of ice cold pain to the depths of your soul…reminds me of how freezing cold water is described when it touches the skin… thousands of needles, your breath catches in your throat… a tightness holds you against your will… you can’t open your eyes against the white light of hurt in your heart…
… in the midst, isn’t it amazing to know and feel the will to wait… the strength to survive in spite of the challenges, the obstacles, the sheer magnitude of everything you have already overcome and what may be just beyond the horizon of our lives… the ever present ability many of us lack gives hope to those who can say in spite of it all, in absolute refusal to back down to life’s twists and turns… I will wait for the future I have chosen, I chose love, I chose her friendship, her embrace, her smile… I chose to be strong enough to stand as the mountain stands to the wind…
I wait for the sake of hope, love, friendship, passion… the smile that melts my heart, eyes that capture my smile, and hands that fit my own… beyond compare, beyond my dreams, beyond what I ever believed possible outside of the realm of here-say and hollywood dreams… I choose this forever road, every drop of rain, twist, turn, bump… and every other portion, simply for the chance at living and making our history together for the rest of our lives…
I would wait forever, as the song says, for your love and the chance to live ours …
