I will wait for you

poetry

I will wait for you
though life carries you like a leaf
in an autumn breeze
away from me

I will watch you
As you dance in brilliant colors
Unaware of my awestruck gaze
Unaware of the growing distance
As you spin and twirl away
Farther away

I will wait for you
Though you dance to drummers
I cannot hear
And you follow them to places
I cannot go

I will wait for you
Though I know the wind
Will not change its direction

I will watch for you
Though the last of the leaves
Have long since blown away

I will wait for you
Because
Because
Because there is a place here
That is empty
And it’s shaped like you
