You and I
While I'd wait
For you to walk
Through that door
Might again
It come to pass
That day then
Would it be our
Last
I have known
Many friends
Yet none compared
With you
You who
Took me in
From the first
While I waited
For the moment
I debated
Should it be
Would it be
At last
And then
The moment past
Then again
Peacefully
We spent a time
Short sublime
Then the chance
Then it came
The letters
They grew long
Till at last
Their longest
Stroke awoke
A fear
You were not there
It could not be
So away
Away from
Me
Days past by
Then the seasons
Wandered in
From spring to
Winter
Then again
Till at last
The thought
No more
Surprise
At last
When least
Expected
A flutter
A chance
No hesitation
Then a time
Of bliss
The season
Of waiting
No more
We walked
Together
You and I
And it was
Spring
But then the summer
And the desert
A mirage of the mind
And a longing
An oasis
Might I find
In this weight
And through
The wind
And the storm
My faith
In question
My hope remains
Through the doubt
Through the pain
You will come again
And then
In time
Will find the joy
Of once we knew
Save now
This time
Hath grown
Hath warmed
To the bone
No more alone
For now no doubt
We are home
By His grace
This dance begins
Where we embark
Who can know
Save the stars
Of night
And the faith
We share
Will stead us
On from the dark
To the dawn
He shall carry us
As always
Through the waiting
And debating
Steadfast
