Description
From Chapter 65, “I’m Ready,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act III: Trust and Letting Go.
Aaron has told Belle that all she has to do is call, email or text "I'm ready" and they will share a life together. This song is his dream of three years in the future. He still has not received the "I'm ready" message. This song reminds us of the quiet strength found in patient love and enduring hope. It embraces the tender ache of waiting and the courage to trust in something unseen but deeply felt. With a voice that carries sincerity and vulnerability, it reminds us that faith is often a soft whisper, not a roar. Listening to this song offers a moment of reflection, a chance to hold onto hope even when the future is uncertain.
Lyrics
Morning light in a borrowed room,
Same old ache, same waiting tune.
I reach for hope like something new,
No matter the time, I reach for you.
Three years gone since we walked our ways,
Still my heart’s cry for you never strays.
Your number changed, the world moved on,
Still loving you will never be wrong.
Hope don’t fade and love don’t rust,
Waiting still feels like an act of trust.
Faith ain’t loud, it doesn’t scream,
It lives inside an unfinished dream.
I hear it come like a whispered plea,
“I’m ready”…calling back to me.
I kept every word I ever sent,
Every hope that lived in my intent.
To sound so bare, so unprotected,
A love sent from above not selected.
Hope don’t fade and love don’t rust,
Waiting still feels like an act of trust.
Faith ain’t loud, it doesn’t scream,
It lives inside an unfinished dream.
I lost my taste for food and sleep,
Some losses cut too wide, too deep.
I heard your voice in empty halls,
Answered silence when it called.
I’m not sorry I told the truth,
I gave you love, not leverage or proof.
Hope don’t fade and love don’t rust,
Waiting still feels like an act of trust.
Faith ain’t loud, it doesn’t scream,
It lives inside an unfinished dream.
Wherever you are, wherever I’ll be,
All you’d have to say is “I’m ready.”
And if that call comes late or soon,
In this life or the next room,
I swear this love will still break through—
No matter how long… I will call you.
