Just Waiting

No scale in the world could measure your beauty.

And no words could do it true justice.

They simply fall short of what I see.

The thought of even trying brings a shiver down my spine.

For when I open my mouth I never find the words

to explain what I see in the angel before me.

You appeared in my life just as quickly as you vanished.

Yet, your image is burned in my memory.

From the night we said goodbye;

the face I confess to every night.

Only trying to get it right.

I just want to be ready for the day you return.

It may be the last time I get see your smile.
