Waste Not

All my life I've had a
Wanting, waiting feeling
An understanding anticipation
A suspicious suspense
Knowing something more would come along
Though dreaded
inevitable
pain and distress were not impassable.
Still I was anxious and unable to
Pass time fast enough.
I saw you in the morning as winter slowly shed her coat and yawned into spring
And the stained glass windows played with the light as it hadn't
Since a few centuries ago
And I laughed at how funny this whole ordeal was, has been
I felt the weight of my ancestors as the sound of the organ danced with the flutter of my own butterflies
I felt how primal this all is, the love and desire I feel...
I have been overtaken by emotion
I do not wishfully think of the next greatest thing
I don't look around you to see what's in store for my future
Rather I look to my future and see more of you
And I can only hope my time with you slows ever more.
I must absorb everything;
Every moment filled with your smell, your every hill and valley
I must save for a rainy day
When I am lonely and the place beside me is empty and cold.
I need you now and forever and
I need a forever full of us
