—seven .

for as long as she could remember,
he had been in her life. but now,
as she looked at him lying there,
she wanted to hear his voice.

she cups his cheek with her hand,
and tears start slipping from her
eyes. she could feel herself let herself
go as she awaits his return.

she doesn't know how long she can
take; waiting for him to wake up.
she wishes that he was here to celebrate her twenty-first birthday too.

yet she didn't feel like celebrating it
without him. she had decided to
postpone it until he returns but she doesn't know for how long.

she wants to feel his hands caress her
face as they kiss and become one.
she doesn't know how long she
can wait.

she feels as if she's going to break
into pieces, as if she were a fragile chinadoll. she wants to feel his fingers press into her back as he hugs her.

she once again let's her tears stream
down her cheeks. she doesn't bother
with putting on makeup anymore.
she would cry it off anyways.

she doesn't know how long she'll wait
but she knows it's worth the wait if
it means he'll be by her side once again.
she hopes— no. knows he'll come back.

—she can feel
it within every
fibre of her being.
