I'll wait across the span of endless years,
Because this foolish heart refuses flight;
I do not wait to hold you near my fears,
Nor ask to share your steps inside the light.
I wait simply to catch a fleeting glance,
To see your smile break softly through the day,
Content to watch from distance, by pure chance,
As all the heavy shadows drift away.
No prize I ask, no promise to be kept,
No claim upon the life you call your own;
While all my quiet, secret grief has slept,
I stand within this patient space, alone.
To see your smile redeem the quiet pain
For that alone, I'd wait through wind and rain.
