#### And Now I Wait
My words have been said
The dice have been cast
A mind aflame with longing
for her response may bring
Tears extinguishing the flame
a mourning for a future lost
Or a love to keep the lantern bright
Mistakes have been made
But my promises must be kept
Place your hands in mine 
And together the pages turn
To a new chapter
In a better book
#### And Now I Wait
