I know you need time....

So I’m waiting…..still waiting
It’s been days, and weeks,
Weeks, that have turned to months.
Waiting for you to open up
Waiting for you to return.

How long will it take
For you to muster the courage
And take those steps
Towards me again.

How long will it be
Before you find an excuse
To tease me, to make me blush,
To make me laugh again.

How long will it take
For you to get over the past,
To forget those last moments
Spent beneath the stars,
And to laugh over those last words we shared.

How long will it be
Before we share,
Our “crappy” chats again,
Before you message me,
Twenty times a day, again.

How long will it take
For you to return,
To be your usual self,
How long will it be
Before we meet again.

I’ve grown weary of the stolen glances,
The hidden smiles, the expectant looks.

How long will it be,
Before you smile at me again
How long will it be,
Before you talk to me again.

I want you to know—
I’ll be waiting,
Waiting for the coldness to pass,
Waiting to feel the bliss that once was.
I’ll be waiting,
Waiting for us to be friends again.
