How is my love when she's alone? <br />Miles apart and doesn't phone. <br />Where is the justice that lets us pine? <br />Is the pain hers and also mine? <br />Why does distance keep us apart? <br />One from t'others counterpart. <br />When will our meeting, time, allow? <br />Fate and action, mixed somehow. <br />The passion of action forces this: <br />To enjoy a worthy, heartfelt kiss! <br />Lovers must feel both pain and pleasure, <br />Which time nor distance cannot measure. <br />Expect love it may not be there; <br />Run from it and it will dare <br />To chastise and win you back, <br />It goes like that it has this knack. <br />When it flows smooth as a valley's stream, <br />Sly destiny knows its cunning scheme. <br />Ethereal threads bond it together <br />To sway around in all types of weather. <br />Love can return with a sparkle, <br />Like Mr Hyde and Dr Jekyll.<br /><br />Charles McMullen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wait-30/
