I Will Wait... Poem by Eva Clara Harahap

I taste a coffee never brewed
I swallow all bitterness alone
My tears are like morning dews
Slowly they cherish my weary night
For you i weep, silently in my own despair..

I let my tears dry...
By the rhythm of moonlight sonata
I throw my pain at the calm evening sea..
These days feel so cold..
It frozen my heart..
It is crawling inside a broken soul..

I want to let go everything..
Crying out loud for each stories..
That we had rendered for so many years..
Regretting the past, when i invited tears..
Every time we've met...

I am burn in the paradise of a misty dream..
I dont want to let you go that way..
Letting you go, is like letting all my dream go..
You asked me to wait...
Wait for the time to be friendly..

Do you know how hard it is to wait? ..
It is hard enough to wait under the light...
You asked me to wait in the dark of a deep tunnel..
I wish you know how it feels...

Do you ever know, What you mean to me?
You are the candle that light the fireplace inside me..
You come to me like the dawn to the night..
Sparks amongst the stars, burned all my dreams..
Then you left me all alone...
Asking me to have faith, assuring me of your love..

I dont doubt anything...
I know everything will be fine...
We will laugh under the shade of a blooming jasmine...
Chatting lively over the cat on a roof...
Running wildly against all winds...
Admiring your hair amongst the field where barleys' grow..

Missing you is like breathing to me...
Loving you is like living for me...
Holding you is all I want...
Being next to you is what i dream each night...

But I will wait, as you asked me...
Until all stars are burned away...
For the love we used to share..
For the laugh we used to have..

I will wait, though it is so dark..
I will wait, though i have many fears...
I will wait, to redeem all the mistakes of the past..
I will wait, to love you more for one more time..

I will wait, for everything you asked me to..
Though i cry every night in my sleep...
I wish you know, how hard it is to wait...
In the dark of deep tunnel, alone with all the misery...
