I Will Wait

I will wait for you —

not with clocks or demands,

but with a calm

that knows some things

take time to arrive.

I’ll wait in the soft hours,

in the spaces between messages,

in the moments where wanting

learns how to be patient

without fading.

There’s no rush in this.

No pressure to become

what we aren’t yet.

Just a faith that says

when you’re ready,

I’ll still be here.

I will wait for you

the way the tide waits for the moon,

certain without asking why,

steady without needing proof.

Not because I have nothing else,

but because you are worth

the quiet choice

to stay.
