The Wait

 

I am waiting for you,

It has been years you left;

Yes, years you left.

And the irony is-

Since then we have never met.

You left me amidst midnight,

You left me crouched alone in bed;

Half-awake I waited for you,

Half-awake I wait for you still;

But, Alas!!!!

Till today you aren’t back.

Yes, you didn’t meet me again,

Neither any news came from your side;

Why then every knock on my door still today;

Makes me shiver and think “It might be You again”?

No, please fear not I ain’t angry with though,

For whatever others may say-

Deep within my heart I believe “I wasn’t your bait that night”.

Yes, I believe that my stars shall brighten one day,

Yes, indeed one day you shall come back to me;

Hold me tight within your arms,

Kiss me on my lips-

And say,” Darling you are mine only mine”.
