Could I have waited for you?
For a thousand years
I just needed to know what I was waiting for
And that you were waiting too
I would have waited
I would have held you
I would have nurtured, tended to, planted, cared for
Loved in between all the messes
I would have brought my own mop
And swept all your entanglements
I would have showered you with unconditional love
Knowing that yours could have been conditioned
And always in your favor
I would have found and gently caressed the deepest of your wounds
I would have given my breath for you to give life to the new you
I would have listened to your truth as it stabs through my heart
Like a sharp knife dives so easily through butter
I would have poured and poured my love onto you to show you
that nothing could change my heart
I would have gladly lost my Self
In sake of your well-being
But not for your ego
not for your Manliness
Not for your elevation and status
I would have stayed
I would have waited like a child awaits the return of their parent
Filled with a love so pure that wraps your entire being in what feels like GOD
But had I waited
I wouldn’t have anything left
There would be no me
The ashes of my remainder would
Serve your as a reminder that
My love for you is True
I would have gladly waited
had you just said the word
