Not Yet
by John Taylor
I wake up slowly, thinking if I keep eyes closed long enough, and wish hard enough, you will be there when I finally do open my eyes in the morning, but it's not to be....Not Yet
I want to feel your body against mine, but I know this morning I can't....Not Yet
I want the first thing I see in the morning to be your smile as it lights up your beautiful face, but I know I won't.....Not Yet
I do the next best thing... I call, I close my eyes again and I can feel the warmth from your smile when I hear your voice, I can feel the joy in my heart when I hear you say "good morning" and I can feel the love in the depths of my soul when we say goodbye. You think I just made your morning better by calling you...when really, you just made the first day of the rest of my life GREAT.
I know one day soon you will be waking up next to me, sharing your smile, your love, your body with me for ever....Just Not Yet.
They have yet to create words that can describe the love I feel for you Annette.
