Waiting for Her, Forgetting Me

Despicable me,
you were right to ignore
and move on.

To be with you
or in your place
if not inside.

Longing is
unrelenting and ever-present and
won't fade.

Will not and cannot
forget
until you have.

Will not, cannot
force you
nor make me wait.

Yet here I am,
waiting
like a fixed housecat.

Is it too late to say...
If it's there, no.
I'm foolish
and you saw that.

I tried, tried,
but didn't try enough.
This will be the next last time.
