Waiting for a future lover

*This poem was written at age 16 as I waited patiently for the future love of my life*

My body shivers at the thought

That by your side is where I ought

To be; instead I'm waiting at the door.

At the door is where I tarry

When I get to see you nary

Waiting for the moment when I shall.

Waiting, waiting, wishing, and

Desiring much to feel your hand

Touching gently, sweetly on my face.

Then your face will draw close to mine

To give a kiss that's so divine,

But years I'll wait before I can receive it.

I'm waiting for that gentle touch

And kiss from the man I love so much

But anticipation is what I must endure.
