I Waited

I have been standing here
through the seasons
Even before you arrived
You pass by every now and then
but never wait a moment
look for a moment

I have shed my leaves
so you can hear my call
and look up

I have blossomed and
knocked on your window
but you look through me
towards the sky

I too love the sky
she is my one true love
I throw my arms at
everyday and every night

There is a wall
between us everyday
But today we finally meet
in this evening breeze
when I am at my scruffiest
But that is also me
with all my marks and
broken limbs

I shall wait to see you again
like I wait for each day
like I wait for the sun to rise
and to set and to rise again
In this cycle of life,
affirmation is all we seek
from each other.
