wait

will you return? he asked.
i close my eyes as i answered, of course!
i’m sorry for making you wait.
you don’t deserve to stay in a place when you are bound to travel around the whole universe.
i don’t deserve making you wait.
but i just can’t take back my pledge.

you’ve gone through this.
you know what i am feeling.
you know how hard it is.
you know the pain i am feeling.

i hope you can understand.
but you are not committed to wait.
you can freely go and explore.
i’m not expecting you to wait for my return.
though deep inside me hopes that you will.

i will wait for you, he promised.
i hope you truly will.
