How long must I wait

An hour,
a day,
a month,
a year…
how long must I wait
before I see your beautiful face?
A season?
Spring is coming,
and I see new green grass…
peeking from beneath the melting snow,
but no sign of you.
How long must I anticipate
your arrival?
Say you are
somewhere in my future,
and not…
something I missed
in the past.
How long must I wait
before I can cup your beautiful face
in the palms of my hands…
and profess my love to you?
I hope it won’t be…
forever

    (grin) You deserve it. You have a very strong sense of wording. Each poem gets stronger and more confident. Do not stop I can literally see your work growing!

    Don’t wait
    any longer
    I am here
    here to be
    with you

    together
    to grow
    to hold
    to love
    to grope

    Open your eyes
    look in the world
    can you see
    that is me

    Don’t wait
    any longer
    I am here
    here to be
    with you
