Love Poem: No Waiting

Written by: Carole Duet

No Waiting

Long ago
  you became my foe
  and I stood my ground.
My heart could not be found.

I ran far away.
Now I'm back
  and the truth is clear.
You were always here,
  waiting.

Waiting for me
  to run back to you,
  to forgive and forget,
  full of regret,
  waiting.

Our love never died,
  though it grew dim.
It survived,
  still alive,
  waiting.

It still glimmers in the dark.
If I follow this spark
  will it grow brighter?
Shall I fan its flame
  as you call my name?
Waiting.

Run back to you?
Start anew?
Forget the past
  at last?
No waiting?
