Hold On

I love you.
I whisper softly in the silence
I miss you.
I need you.
Hold on.

Every time I fall asleep
Every time I dream
I see him standing there
Looking in my eyes
Saying not a word
Yet telling me everything
Everything I want to hear
All of it true
As true as the love we share

I fight to hold back my tears
I struggle to be strong
I would know,
Wouldn't I,
If something was wrong?

He'll be back soon
Only a little longer
It's not too far away
I can hold on
For that short period of time


Can I?
Doubt starts
To creep into my mind
I'm not doubting our love
I'm doubting my strength
What will I do
If he can't hold on?
What would I do
If I never got to hold him
Ever again?

Hold on.
I think of him everyday
I won't ever leave his side
Hold on, my love.
I'll be here.
Waiting.
Hold on.
