**for Long Enough... Poem by Sylvi Sylva

For long enough you, made me. Smile

yes, and one more thing...that I never said, often
and so you thought that I never. cared.
you, were convinced when
all I did was gape as you walked. I bled

yes, and you know I... should have said it, then
I knew as I now indeed know. How.
I, much brought you pain
oh and how it tears me apart even more. So now

yes, and I know I... thought you'd never again, smile
without me holding your hand tightly. I
long, to see your smile
now or for someone to hold my hand. Oh why

yes... and one more thing... that I should have, often
said was what worth you really were to me, that's
what, i will say as my heavenly token
to whoever holds I pray daily, My hand

for long enough, to see me. Smile.
