Waiting

poem by: James Dicus
Written on Jun 22, 2019

How long will it be, before things are back to how they were, to when we were together?

I want you to be happy and live the life you want. I want to be that for you, and be with you forever.

The line is blurred and fuzzy between then and now.

Time helps to heal but with this wound, I don’t know how.

The sensation is sharp and painful.
The weight is heavy and hot.

Emotions are crushing and unnumbered,
too many to be fought.

I want things to remain, I wanted to be what was needed. I face the fact that I was unable.

This burden is hard to bear but I know, bear it, I must. I have to be strong and unbreakable.

My love remains, despite the change in our relationship. No matter the distance or time, you will always hold the same place in my heart.

This is my pinky promise, I will love you with all that I am, I will never look to someone else to fill the void.
It is you and you alone that I will want, no matter how long it is that we’re apart.

James Dicus - (Date unknown)
