Breath Away

Dear God,

For countless times have I prayed,
   I begged for her to be the one,
To no avail; it was a coveting unreturned,
At this hour, I humbly pray to You,
Let the other find me,
For I know not where to seek,
   nor do I know how,
For this heart is shattering,
   for a time indefinite,

If by chance she crossed my way,
   the one meant to corral the broken pieces,
Allow this battered heart to swiftly fall,
   for a depth indefinite,
   for as long as I may draw breath,
So that I may forget,
   of countless times,
   this heart was given,
   but not readily received,
To begin eternity,
   with one who was worth the wait.
