Whispers Of Our Soul

A Storm

I will wait so long

For the day when we pass each other 

In the halls once again

And you will look up

Your heart will jump right into your throat

Because no one warned you I was coming

Yet, I will still be there

Walking right towards you

And perhaps you will brace yourself

For the sad look in my eyes

For a sigh of desire to escape my lips

But you will not be satisfied

Because I will walk right past 

You won't even get a glance,

A second of my time

And I can imagine you taking a second look, maybe even a third

My eyes you always thought so bright 

Will seem neon 

Because of all the years that have passed

I have been waiting so long

For that moment so you can be confused before you finally realize:

I don't care for you anymore

I don't cry over you 

My eyes have not wept over you in months

And I no longer hurt

That seed of doubt you planted in my heart?

It has long since died

And I hope, I hope with everything I am

That your heart will ache and whine and beg

I hope that some part of you will want me

So you can kick yourself for letting me go

I will wait forever 

Until then, get ready

Because when you least expect it

A storm will come 

And guess what?

I'm bringing the thunder and the lightning
