Wait Poem by Victoria Hardy

Do you remember?
I had looked in your eyes
One last time
Waiting for one last look.

I knew it.
I always knew what your eyes said.
Yet I waited
And waited...

Hoped one day
They could tell me something
That your mouth couldn't
For so long.

This was waiting for eternity.
But I always waited.
And I would always wait.
For that day.

Yet years passed
And they never said 'stay'
But never said 'leave' either.
So the tears never arrived.

I just knew one thing
Even waiting forever
Would be better
Than saying good-bye.

So the good-bye never came,
And I never left
You never left.
We never left.
