• HOPING


    I'm screaming your name,
    hoping you would hear,
    hoping you would stop,
    and scream my name back.

    I'm calling your phone,
    hoping you would hear it,
    hoping you would answer,
    and take my call.

    I'm crying out loud,
    hoping you would hear my sobs,
    hoping you would see my tears,
    and wipe them all away.

    I'm laughing now,
    now that you have answered my prayers,
    now that you are beside me,
    loving me with all your heart.
