The Waiting Place

You are a yes and a no,
a story caught mid-sentence,
a choice that feels decided
yet refuses to unfold.

You're something that never quite began,
yet somehow hasn't ended,
a presence lingering like soft echoes,
a voice my heart won't let go.

Other loves come and go,
fleeting, easy to release,
but you remain, constant,
the one my heart keeps choosing.

And here I am, in the in-between,
stuck with no way to forget,
and nowhere to move forward.

So I stay here, day by day,
rooted in the quiet ache of waiting,
hoping you'll be my present or my future—
anything but the past—
because I need to believe
that life saves the happy endings
for hearts that are willing to wait.
