Slipping

Waiting is something that happens a lot anymore.
And here I am, been left waiting again.
But in between the horizon of hundreds of miles, you can't see the light die in my eyes after I receive an ounce of your existence but watch it slip out of my hands only moments later.
I know you went to a place I can't follow, and it kills me inside that you have to walk alone.
Because I would walk with you.
I was left drifting when you gently pushed me to a corner to watch it be filled with pretty faces and threats.
And through it all I still love you.
It's something I'm not ashamed to say.
And though everyone tells me I should cut you out of my life with a cruel blade, I tell them to fuck off and leave us be as I never could turn my back upon you.
But I won't lie.
There are days when the going gets tough, when the sea attempts to devour me, hopelessness cast along the desolate shore praying for any sign, a light, laugh, touch, kiss, a piece of cloth here,  a catch of golden hair there, that the emotions become overwhelming.
But I remained rooted in my promise to never leave.
Because I know that one day I'll be safe inside your embrace again.
So for tonight I'll sleep through these dragging moments.
But I'll still be there for tomorrow.
