I WILL BE WAITING

I WILL BE WAITING


Though you may or may not come,
I will be waiting for you.
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
I will be waiting for you.

Life is long and difficult,
Paths of love are intricate.
Be assured when you look back,
I will be waiting for you.

Right now pastures, meadows green
Beckon you away from me.
When you do get tired of these,
I will be waiting for you.

It is true that I feel hurt
But my heart is not broken.
I know you will come one day,
I will be waiting for you.

But let me assure you this:
I don’t hold you nor bind you.
You are free not to return
But I’ll be waiting for you!
