I bid her farewell as she waves from the doorstep, <br />My heart feels so heavy I so want to stay, <br />But there I must leave her till late in the evening, <br />When I shall return at the end of the day. <br /> <br />I'm heading to work on a cold winter's morning, <br />The sunlight does shine through the clouds up above, <br />Each step that I take is another step further, <br />Away from the arms of the one that I love. <br /> <br />While there my mind wanders I'm thinking about her, <br />Awaiting the time I can see her again, <br />I count every second each minute and hour, <br />Each day seems a lifetime of heartache and pain. <br /> <br />And then as I leave all my burdens seem lifted, <br />I sail through the air like the clouds up above, <br />Flying for freedom and heading for home now, <br />And into the arms of the one that I love.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-that-i-love-2/
