You Started Off.... Poem by Sanya Zahid

You started off as if it was just you
And I came along as if you’d be there
I don’t know if I’ll find you the next minute or not
But right now I’m not doing very well
I loved it the way when you were last to go
But then it stopped as if you wanted me to know what it felt like when it was you
Now I really can’t bear it
Even for the next second
I’m waiting
The world is going the way it does
And here I sit, miles away
Never knowing what you’d be doing
But you must have something to say
I closed my eyes hopelessly
But then my heart wakened
And when you brought that hope again
Why’d you have to leave?
I’m waiting
