9 years, 8 months and 12 days

There he was, standing

Where I had left him

Soaking wet, cold

shivering in the rain

By the store 

After 9 years, 8 months and 12 days

There he was , waiting

Like Yesterday

As I had told him to

Patiently and lovingly

With longing in his eyes

After 9 years, 8 months and 12 days

There he was, watching

Me, with someone else

Hand in hand, laughing 

Almost a decade separating us

Yet, one look at him

Hooked me, like before

After 9 years, 8 months and 12 days

There he was, crying

In the rain, invisible to the world

Hurting, his insides shredding into bits

His blood burning his veins

His hopes, along with rain

Flowing Down the drain

After 9 years, 8 months and 12 days.
