Love Poem: Waited

Waited

So long the rain tarried
Often would I look out the window
It has refused to stop

My heart travelled all the way
Walking the streets as it rained
Searching for the life that makes it tick
All alone it wondered
To no avail he saw nothing

He would always stop at the sight
Thinking he had seen her
Calling out with all his strength
But no one heard
No one answered

The clock ticked and the time raced
Every effort exploited
Every corner searched
‘I could not see my heart’
My heart would always say

I know my heart will not come back in vain
He must come back with his heart.
