and have merged into one wish
to hold you close to me.
All my tears have gathered
to wash your feet, my beloved.
I am in total silence
as my tongue will sing
only your songs, my love.
I am awake whole night,
not blinking
fearing I might doze of.
You may come
at dawn or midnight.
I am all attention for
your light steps
which might get lost
in the sound of the breeze.
Ticking of the clock
tells me, time is passing.
Chirping of birds
gives the signal of dawn.
I am not disappointed,
I know you will come
one day.
If you so wish,
I will wait for you
till eternity.
