XV. “Hopes”

 

…Because I want to be able to say I loved you

Before I knew you

That I fell in love with you

Before I ever saw you 

That I’ve been waiting expectantly for you

 

And when I finally meet you

To be unable to put into words

The overwhelming joy in realizing 

You

The one who The Spirit has shown me in my dreams…

 

And when I finally meet you

To be left speechless at the site

Overwhelmed with the love that I feel

For you

Fulfillment of a heart’s desire

 

When I finally meet you

To stand awestruck and amazed

Overwhelmed by the peace

Of being in your presence

Only able to truly express this love with my life
