You…
make me tiptoe around that word
afraid my tongue would slip
I purse my lips
on the verge
of a panic attack
of my overextended heart
You…
I will follow you…
to the distant corners of your mind,
till you no longer want to hide,
And I will stand outside,
your door,
waiting…
For even if the world never stopped,
and people moved on,
you never left my heart,
and I will stand for as long as you need,
right here…
waiting.
