Patiently Waiting For Someone

Some people arrive like thunder,
loud enough to shake your world.
Others come softly,
like a sunrise you almost miss
until the warmth reaches your soul.

And so I wait.

Not because I have nothing else to do,
but because some hearts are worth
the silence between moments.
Worth the lonely nights,
the unanswered questions,
the wondering if you ever think of me too.

I wait through crowded days
and quiet evenings,
through songs that remind me of you
and memories that refuse to fade.
I carry hope carefully,
like a candle in the wind,
protecting it from doubt.

People say waiting is weakness,
but they do not understand
the strength it takes
to believe in someone
when time keeps moving
and certainty never comes.

Maybe love is not always rushing.
Maybe sometimes love is patience.
A steady heartbeat that refuses to quit,
even when distance stretches long
and life becomes complicated.

So I will wait a little longer.

For the conversation that feels like home.
For the smile that quiets my fears.
For the moment your heart finally realizes
mine never stopped choosing you.

And if you ever arrive,
you will find that I did not wait empty-handed.
I waited with faith,
with loyalty,
with a love that stayed gentle
instead of turning bitter.

Because some people
are worth patiently waiting for.
