How long shall I wait for your return?
Time ticks on, like grains of sand that yearn.
To reunite with the shore, to be whole once more,
My heart, a vessel, empty and forlorn.

The wind whispers secrets, of your distant shore,
A bittersweet reminder, of the love we adore.
The stars up above, a celestial show,
A twinkling tapestry, that only glows.

In the darkness of night, I'll hold on to the light,
A beacon of hope, that guides me through the night.
The flame of our love, a burning ember true,
A love that remains, forever steadfast and new.

How long shall I wait, for your return to me?
Until the end of time, until eternity.
For with you by my side, is where I'm meant to be,
Together, our love, wild and free.
