Love story (61)

U

U

You were not there.

You didn't know

how

badly I

wanted

to

see you

again tonight.

I searched for

your

presence

in every

passing

moment,

holding on to the hope

that

somehow,

you would

appear.

But you were not there.

And all I wished for

was that

smile

the one

I've been waiting for

without saying

a word.

Not because I

wanted to beg.

Not because I

wanted your attention.

But because

your

smile

has a way of calming

the

storms

inside my heart.

I wonder if

you'll ever know

how much

you've lived

in

my

silent

thoughts,

how often I've carried

your

name

through

sleepless

nights.

And I hope that

one day,

when our paths

cross again,

you'll finally see

that

among all the people

I've met

and left behind,

it was

always

you.

The one

I've

been

longing

for.

The one

I've been

waiting

for.

The one

my heart

never

truly

forgot.
