I wait in the dark for a word of love,
A whisper soft from the stars above,
In silent hope, my heart does yearn,
For a touch, a glance, a love’s return.
I wait believing it will come,
Through the quiet night, my senses numb,
Each moment stretches into years,
A river of unspoken fears.
I wait in the dark for a word of love,
A sign, a promise, a gentle shove,
To break the silence, end the night,
To bring my heart into the light.
In shadows deep, where dreams reside,
I keep my faith, though time has lied,
For love, I wait, with steadfast soul,
A patient vigil to make me whole.
Though days turn cold and nights grow long,
I hum the notes of love's sweet song,
I wait in the dark for a word of love,
A beacon bright, a soaring dove.
For in this stillness, hope remains,
A quiet strength amidst the pains,
I wait in the dark for a word of love,
To light my path to skies above.
