At Home with You

i was awake with my eyes
open wide
waiting for something to happen
i hear the silent murmur
in my ear
of a love you feel for me
the distance between
us is great
but our LOVE is greater!
one day we will see each other
and i long for it to be today,
or tomorrow or soon...
my heart can wait,
it has waited seven long years
full of restless ennui
and solitary confinement.
no one dared give me a second look
no one told me i am beautiful--
even if i am fat or ill or imperfect.
no one, until you came
it seemed my world spin
counterclockwise,
and my life
is turned upside down
now all i see is your face
now all i dream is you
now all i wish is to be with you
my heart found its resting place
it is at home with you.
