Lately I've had lyrics from a song from a long time ago playing themselves over and over again in my head.
They speak of hungering for the touch of the one you love for a long, long lonely time -- and this, my love, is perhaps the most accurate description I can think of to describe all of the years you've been gone.
I've longed to feel your arms around me again. I've longed to wake up beside you in bed, because you just wrapped your arms around me. I've longed to hear your voice say my name again.
I've hungered for a long, long, lonely time.
But that time is coming to an end.
Soon, my dearest love, I think I am going to see you again.
My life has been a good one, and it's been a long one.
It's not been an entirely lonely one either. I have been surrounded with more love than I ever could have imagined.
But I have still been living without my other half for almost forty years, and although I wish I didn't have to leave Morgan, I know she will be okay. She's such a strong woman, and I know although she will miss me, but she will be okay. I think she will be better off without me than I was without you for all of these years
Hmm there is another part of the song I’ve had playing in my mind that says wait for me; I’ll be coming home, wait for me , and that’s what I’ll be doing very soon now, Tony. I will be coming home soon, so please will you be waiting for me? I have missed you so much, so much that I can’t hardly stand another moment without you when the time comes for me to join you.
Please be waiting for me.
