#45 Echoes of My Heart

70 21 23
                                    

Is fading out of
your sight all that's
left for me to do.
Can't I care for you
some more? Despite
our hearts
being at odds.

Despite us not seeing
eye to eye when
it came to love.
Despite us arguing
so many times
and shattering
all the hope-

That things will improve.
That you'll come around
and embrace
me deep in your arms.
Tell me it's okay and that
you're here to stay.
I need to hear...

That you're here to
make a difference,
to be the strength
that I need.
But no, it's just
my late night
wonderings.
My heart
echoing
its sufferings.

Were my expectations
too exaggerated, is that
why I stand alone
amidst the chaos of
this world, am I
forever lost?

I only seek love.
Love that'd
make me shine,
That'd illuminate
my road with a
guiding light.
Where your heart
will be my destination
and my home.

Where my pulse
meets yours and
finds solace.
Where, by heavens,
you're the promise.
My reward for
my patience
and my struggle.

My mi amor,
my evermore,
my forever in this
small world.
You're my cosmos,
that's how much
my feelings for you
have expanded.

You're the rain,
quenching every
dried up root and
scars of my heart.
I wanna dance with
your hands on my waist,
and your eyes in mine.

I wanna take
steps with you
towards future,
and erase all
the mistakes.
I wanna be
living on your lips,
rebuilding us from
scratch again...
