Waiting for you

Only you

Waiting for you

Do you still remember our one-year relationship?

How your eyes twinkle and how eager you are for my hugs and kisses!

Do you still remember?

Because no matter what I do

You are still here in my heart and mind.

It's just hard to think that we are now strangers.

You told me that our four-year gap, my status in life, and my outward appearance didn't matter.

All that matters is what I am and who I am.

Is it just a word?

Every word that came out of your mouth, I believed, and I still hold on to it.

I will never forget it, even if time passes.

I hope you will come back to me.

Because you promised me, right?

You will come back to me when everything is fine.

You are not a poet.

But you got me with your flowery words.

Why couldn't you fight for me?

Is it because it was not worth the fight?

It was easy for you to leave me that day, like I was just a toy you picked up from the corner.

I was very sure, then.

I would never get into a relationship unless I completely healed from my past.

But you came into the picture.

Until I fell in love with you.

I thought you would catch me until the end.

My body was just shaking from the height of my falling on you.

I will never forget the pain and agony of falling for you.

This is all I can tell you.

Next time, don't make a promise if you can't keep it.

Because I am still hoping over and over again.

It's so heavy on my heart.

It feels like it’s going to explode.

But I am still fighting.

I can wait for you for a long time because I love you, and I'm sure of that.

Just come back to me if you can fight for me.

The door of my heart is always open for you.

Remember that

I am just here, waiting for you.
