The Wait

All was lost.

So, many years ago;
And then, you were there;
Confident and secure.
You hid your torment well,
but,it called to me all the same.
Something stirred, inside my soul,
pushed through the walls I had built,
around my heart;needing to be alive,
again.
and so, you cradled it with a stoic
resolve,
igniting a passionate fire,
that I could not express.
All that time, you waited;
with a calm patience I
mistook for cold indifference.
Now, I am aware that you
needed me to say
I wanted you.
is there time to mend, this rift and
bridge the gulf between
your heart and mine?
