Waiting

Where are you?
Where are you, my love,
Sailing in the distant lands.

I’m watching,
I‘m waiting,
For you, so far away.

You’re further than the sea in front of me,
The sea separating the two of us,
The world between you and I.

You’re so far away, my love,
And I can’t reach.

I’ll be here writing,
Writing in this little book,
Of the days passing,
Of my only simple thoughts.

Of how much I
Miss you,
Love you.
So come back to me,
I’ll be here, for you.

And while I stand,
My heart will slowly,
Freeze in the cold wind.

While I wait,
I will see the years go past,
Not one with you.

But I will wait,
Always wait.
For your return,
My love.
