Lost in waiting

I wanted to say,

But couldn't express,

I waited for you,

But you wouldn't come.

You were here,

But lost somewhere,

I sadly chuckled,

Knowing it's her.

Am I so boring,

Or not attractive,

Should I change myself,

Or be her?

When will you love me?

Will you ever love?

Or just empathy towards me,

Forcing yourself to stay.

Moments slip away,

In the silence we dwell,

Longing for words unspoken,

Lost in waiting's spell.

I'll wait no longer,

For love to bloom or fade,

I'll embrace my worth,

And find my own way.

In the echoes of our silence,

I find strength to break away.

Through the haze of uncertainty,

I'll emerge, unbound and free.
