POEM_: The Long Wait

And long I told myself,
that those who mean to come back,
never go.
But I never quite believed it .
I always thought
that you loved me dear
and would be back
before I lost hope in you.
In Love. In Life. In God.

I waited a long time
till I forgot what I was waiting for.
And then I told myself,
that if you had really loved me,
you would have found me.
And that,
you perhaps do not remember me
and the deliciously long night, we had once shared.
I wanted to believe this,
but never could.

I still await you.
