May the hours pass swiftly,
May the days fly by…

Until you hold me in your embrace once more
Until you touch my hand and hold it in yours during prayer
Until I hear your snore and feel your nearby warmth at night
Until I taste your kiss and see your socks on the floor
Until I hear you sing and see you hold the other half of my Bible

May the hours pass swiftly,
May the days fly by…

Until I see the glow of your eyes and hear the excitement in your voice
Until I hear your prayers over the smell of our home cooked meal
Until I hear you breathe all night and can rest safely in the knowledge you are there
Until my nightmares cease and peaceful, accompanied rest begins
Until the tears stop

May the hours pass swiftly,
May the days fly by…

Until my words fall on real ears and not on those of the deaf
Until there’s no ringing before your voice and no pressing of buttons to find you
Until I have you and you’re mine and I’m yours
Until I am complete again
Until I see your lips say ‘I Love You’
