What has happened is never spoken
Everything around me has been broken
There's no words, just silence.
Hate, but no violence
Sadness, without tears
Humans, without fears.
When will the ground break?
Where is the open gate?
Slowly, the darkness creeps
But still, no one weeps.
All are withering
Hearts are shriveling.

This world has grown cold
There's no one left to hold.
I fear that I too will join them soon
Just when the light fades from the moon.
My beloved has been turned into a dove
And now I know what becomes of this world,
Without his love.

I'm sitting on the porch
Wind blowing through my hair
The ducks are frolicking in the pond
But I just can't seem to care.
Life goes on around me
I don't participate
I go through all the motions
But what I really do is wait.

I dream about the day
That you'll come home to me
Nothing else is important
Why can't people see?

I don't want to go out
I don't want to have fun
I don't want to do a thing
Until all is said and done.

They took you in the summer
Now fall is almost finished
Winter will be here very soon
And then the year will have diminished.

You have no idea how much I cry
I never let you know
It's so hard out here without you
But I'm not allowed to let it show.

I must pretend all is fine
Everyone thinks all's okay
But what I never ever tell them
Is that I cry for you every day.

Because of you I have a reason to smile.
Wanted to see you but you said you'd be away for a while.
When will you come back to me?
So we can hold each other while we sleep?
I think of you every night.
Wishing I can hold you tight.
You're my yum yum and I'm your bumble bee.
No matter what happend in my heart is where you'll be.

The day you come back to me
Promise me you will never leave.

Author: Phillip Varady Sr. (Excerpted from The Stonebearers)

My love is like the sun that warms me when I am cold,
And like the cool water of the brook that refreshes me.
My love knows the secret pleasures of my soul,
And delights with me in fulfilling them.
Who is my love but the soul of my soul,
And the reason for every beat of my heart.
Who fills me with life in the joy of her presence,
And returns to me more than I have given.
Come to me, my love, I die without you.
Each day is eternity, waiting for your touch.
Remove the tears from my eyes and the ache in my heart,
Be closer than my breath, all my days, all my nights.

Author: David G Teves

When I lay and think, in my bed at night,
the day you'll arrive, seems nowhere in sight.
I toss and I turn, dreaming of you,
opening my eye's... checking if my dream came true.
It didn't, again, and a tear starts to roll,
weeping quietly... my pillow I hold.

Many sleepless nights I've prayed for you, my love.
God touched my soul from heaven above
He's answered my prayers for my bride to be.
I've never felt this lucky, God did this for me.
That's a question I asked each and every night.

He must think your special, Joy, and I know he's right.
No other has made me feel so complete,
my whole life was lived, just so we could meet.
All these thoughts and more going through my head.
I fall asleep not worrying, but dreaming of you... instead.

You're always on my mind, day and night
When I think of you, all feels so right
Need to have you, need to hold you
And tell you that I love you.
My dear, I don't want to see us apart
This separation just tears away my heart
I miss you, oh, I really miss you
Will need you more and more each day
I know I cannot live without you
I miss you, more than words can say.

♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥

I count the hours,
I count the days.
How much I miss you,
I count the ways.

I miss your voice,
I miss your touch.
And I miss the face,
That I love so much.

How to describe it,
There is now way.
I walk around,
In a permanent daze.

I long to feel,
Your warm embrace.
And to see a smile,
Upon your face.

I will not sleep,
Won't close one eye.
Until you're home,
Safe and alive.

While you're overseas,
And I'm safe at home.
I think of you out there,
In danger and alone.

This is the life you've chosen,
And I can't change your mind.
You've found your inner bravery,
And now I must find mine.

I miss you so much,
To the moon and the stars.
And this feeling will go on,
Until you're safe in my arms.
