• The Long Stretch

   

  My life seemed empty with no hope of ever feeling again.

  I walk alone on that long stretch ahead with no one beside me.

  I hang my head down staring at the dirt road, not daring to have someone see the hurt, pain and loneliness in my eyes.

  For they would see that I’m in need of someone to love me.

  But I had no one.

  No one to hold me.

  No one to kiss me.

  No one to say, “I love you.”

  No one to be there when I needed someone the most.

  Until the day I met you.

  Your kind words, kind gestures, and warm sense of humor made me hope for something real.

  For something long lasting.

  For something dreams were made of.

  For that love that I longed for, for so long.

  For now I no longer need to hope or dream, for you have come into my heart and filled it with love, hope, and long lasting dreams of a love worthwhile and a life filled with happiness.

  I will no longer walk that long stretch ahead alone, for you will be right by my side from now until the end of time.
