WAIT FOR ME

 

Wait for me.

I will meet you at the appointed place.

Though hindrances are in bulk, I have to meet you.

My bruised soul needs a healing touch.

And my dear, you are that healer.

Waiting for me needs the heart of stone.

The burden is too heavy to carry.

But determination does miracles.

I am sure I will meet you, though I don’t know how.

Yes, it is true I won’t be the same again.

My physical and mental world will be changed.

But I still remember you.

So, wait for me.

I will come riding on a white horse, with a rein in my bruised hands.

Galloping with the highest speed, I will raise the clouds of dust in front of the muddy house of yours, where we met for the first time.

A bouquet of flowers is what I will have.

But the smell will drown you for a long time.

Wait for me, I will come and heal you.
