How long should I wait for the promise you made?
In this world of uncertainty, my patience starts to fade.
I believed in your words, held them close to my heart,
But now I’m left wondering, when did our trust depart?
How long should I wait for the truth to unfold?
For the secrets you keep, for the stories yet untold.
I thought love was our foundation, our unshakeable ground,
But now it seems fragile, like whispers without sound.
How long should I wait for the spark to ignite?
For the passion we once had, burning oh so bright.
The flames have grown weary, flickering in the dark,
While my soul remains longing, like an abandoned ark.
How long should I wait for the conflicts to mend?
For the wounds to heal, for our hearts to transcend.
I yearn for the harmony we once used to know,
But it feels like a distant memory, drifting in the ebb and flow.
How long should I wait for the answer to come?
For the clarity to arrive, for the doubts to be undone.
I crave the reassurance, the solace it could bring,
Yet the silence keeps echoing, refusing to sing.
How long should I wait? I ask with a heavy sigh,
For the paradise we painted beneath the painted sky.
But perhaps, my dear, it’s time to let go,
To release the final remnants of a love we used to know.
For waiting indefinitely will only bring more despair,
It’s time to find the strength to step away from this snare.
Though it hurts to leave behind what we thought was fate,
I must walk my own path, not linger and wait.
So farewell to the promise, the love we once spoke,
I’ll cherish the memories, even though they’re broke.
For in the journey ahead, I’ll find my own truth,
And leave behind the waiting, the days of my youth.
