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.
