Poetry: Heart, Mind & Soul

I'll Wait For You

It's been too long and I'm still making up my mind,

No decision must be made blind.

I love you but I need you to give me some time,

Every second, every minute and every hour seem to be a dime.

I get told I must spend wisely,

This evening I sit in an armchair,

Looking at the fire blazing in the fireplace,

Thoughts floating in every free space.

I let my hair fall on my face.

From the breath I let out from my young lungs,

I have not lived long enough,

Yet love is coming and it's getting nearer,

And my head is getting no clearer.

The choice I have to make gets more tough.

Where are you when I need you to help me choose?,

"No matter how long it takes, I'll be here. I'll wait for you",

You kissed my cheek and I closed my eyes,

Feeling your lips still against my skin,

And when you pulled away far too soon the fire I felt,

Left me wondering why you felt so hot instead cold,

Why aren't you angry at me for stringing you along?,

That feeling of waiting and never getting what you want,

Wouldn't it dire you and tear you apart?

After spending an eternity waiting for me,

I would say to you that love is a satire.

After getting too old.
