Patient Love

You know that moment, in a movie,

Where all the lights go out,but 1?

Well, when I first met him,

**He**was in that light,

Staring,

Right...

*Behind me.*

Something more interesting caught his young eyes

Something that shined blindly in the night

But was completely forgotten by day.

But I still sat there,

Eyes wide with anticipation,

Waiting for him to melt my heart with

*Perfectly timed melodies*.

I sat there waiting for

*8 years.*

Sometimes I would stand up

Walk around,

Sit somewhere more... *willing*

But as years yellowed like autumn leaves,

I began to forget..

But then my light,

From years ago

**Sat Down.**

He sat down every time the lights went out.

Watching me,

Watching my every move

Until he was no longer sitting *alone*

In the dark.
