six thousand years

Summary:

Sometimes you have to wait an exorbitant amount of time to get what you want, but it's worth it in the end.

Notes:

This is my very first attempt at poetry in English (non-native speaker), and something that just kind of... popped into my head that I decided to write down and liked how it sounded in the end. Any and all feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

Work Text:

Six thousand years I have longed
For a friend,
For a touch,
For a glimpse to catch
of your starry eyes

For a word,
For a greeting,
For a quiet meeting,
For a kiss to make things alright

Six thousand years I have longed

For a nightingale song,
For a place to belong—

But I long no more

For at long last I know
That your heart, and your touch,
And your lips,
And your starry eyes

Are forever
And were
And have always been

Mine.
