Footsteps That Faded Away

BY KIERAN, ANIL ROGERS

Before she left, she whispered a promise in my ear,

that she would return, though she knew not when.

Her words were a lifeline, a beacon in my fear,

and I clung to them, as the days turned into ten.

I watched her go, her footsteps fading away,

into the distance, until she was gone.

I waved goodbye, my heart heavy with dismay,

knowing that it might be a long time before we saw each other again.

But I held onto her promise, like a lifeline,

a beacon of hope in the darkness of my sorrow.

I believed that she would come back,

and that we would be together again, someday.

And so, I waited. I waited through laughter and tears,

through joy and pain, through triumphs and fears.

I waited for her to come home,

I waited for her to fulfil her promise.

But still, I waited. And still, I wait.

My heart aches with longing, my hope begins to wane

but I will not give up, I will not let go,

for I know that she will come back, someday.

Even if it takes a lifetime,

even if it takes forever,

I will wait for her,

my love for her will never waver.
