shall i treat you
like an old friend,
whom i have lain in
constant wait for?
one whom i have wished
to come my way once more
one who kept my eyes
firmly glued to the door?

hoping it will open
one of these very
unassuming days
it will slowly, timidly
give me a tiny crack
and let you in

a familiar face,
one that i will
instantly recognize
for a bit there i thought
i'd forgotten what you
look like, feel like
please remind me again
of the warmth i had
gotten accustomed to before,
what i felt i lost
in the shuffle

in the mundane
and commonplace,
will you please let me
feel extraordinary again
wrap me up
in your mystery
and take me to the heights
my soul seem to fall short on
let me soar,
and if in some way
i have forgotten how to float
remind me again how
it feels to be weightless
worryless,

oh love,
i have indeed missed you
take my breath away again
allow me to not think again
let me hear you whisper
my name again
a haunting sound
escaping your exquisite lips
let me hold you in my arms again

and if by some luck
i hear you faintly knock
it won't be in vain dear,
i won't succumb to my fear,
i won't fail to hear
