Hopes and Prayers of Anticipation

Tomorrow you will be home
Causing my heart to beat more rapidly
With anticipation of holding you in my arms
And looking deeply into your eyes as I tell you I love you
While in my heart I will be praying that you will be receptive
And maybe even respond that you love me too . . .
So tonight I will sleep with you and hold you
In a fanciful dream that I hope becomes a reality
And not just another fantasy that plunges me into a deeper depression
Causing my heart to ache because of rejection
But my hope and my prayer is that your manifestation
Will be one of love . . .
