ONE WORD

I have always known deep in my heart that all of my true self will be open and life will be magic when I hear

One Word

I wait for that word

One word that will save me from the fake life I live

One word that will bring me into the light

One word that will make me realize that I am deserving

One word that will mean all is as it should be

One word that will prove to me that I am safe

One word that will make all my dreams come true

One word that will take away all the fear

One word that will make me love myself again

One word that will allow me to let go of the lies

One word that will free all of the past

One word that will lead me into the future

One word that will allow me to enter my life

One word that will ask me to enter yours

One word that will tell me that you need me

One word that will tell me that you love me

One word that will tell me you want me

One word that will give you to me

I wait for it and crave it, every second I'm with you I beg for it.

Will it be the last word you'll say before drifting into sleep?

Will it be the last word you say before walking away?

Will it be the last word before you you leave,

Will it be the last word you type or say before you run?

I know that word exists, I don't know what the word is, but I've known all my life it exists. I feel it in my heart and I need desperately to hear it to know it's real.

Just say it, tell me, show me, prove to me-

I beg you to say the word that will forever banish the emptiness that is always left when you go away, when you aren't with me, when you don't seem to need me, when I'm staring at and feeling the sting of the last word that holds on for hours that wasn't the one I'm so desperate for.

One word

Please say it, one word, the one word that will finally set us free and make us real and true.

One word
