And then...

I’m waiting, like I always did...

We’re separated time and again, unwilling

And the time passes by, away and far across

Out of sight, never out of mind or heart

Dry days crawl through, seasons revolve

And then, I could’ve said the ‘I miss you’

Or posted on my timeline or your wall

Tagged an old pic, or sobbed a tweet

But then, I choose to do what I do coz I can’t shut or shove these thoughts

And then, we meet

I show you this, and look beneath your smile

We’re together, back to our cores for just a while

Until another day

That manipulates and lures us to drift and depart

And then, I’ll come back to seek a pen

Look across the bowing branches, sneezing with the wind

I go back to scribbling an ode

But then, I fold that leaf that peeked and hide

For another while...
