Waiting
for you to return
after you say goodbye.
Waiting
for a smile to come
after the tears have dried.
Waiting
to hear “I love you” again
after we end the fight.
Waiting
for the darkness
after turning off the lights.
Waiting
for the dust to settle
after the storm has passed.
Waiting
for time itself
for this too will not last.
They say that life’s
a game and I agree it is –
one – of waiting.

It was very close to my heart.
Waiting heals…for sure👍
I agree Shashikala. I’m glad you liked it.
