So Long

By Mark A. Alvarez II

So long, I have waited for your love.
So long, I have waited for you.
When I have lost my light,
What am I to do?
All I feel is emptiness,
In the embrace of this darkness.
Is it my fate to know such grace,
Though I cannot see your face?
Can I find hope in what I have lost,
Or do I have to wait?
So long, I have waited for the day.
So long, I have waited for the faith,
In what I might find someday.
No matter the fate; good or bad.
This is where I stand.
So long, I have waited for the hope.
So long, I have waited for the day,
For the sun to shine on my face,
With the love and the faith I have yet to find.
I must continue to believe that someday,
I will find my place.
So long as I can look up to the sky,
I will continue to try.
So long as the sun shines bright,
I will look to find you by my side.
Oh so I pray.
Someday.
