When you decide to come back,
The same smile will greet you.
Same, yet a little different.
A bit bolder.
The smile lines around my lips
Will tell you a story
Of how I was waiting for you so long,
And in the meantime,
I have become everything
I've told you I would become.
And more than that.
The same blue eyes, with a tint of grey in them,
Will look at yours.
With the same care and attention.
But they will be less focused
On the way yours look at me,
And more focused on the way
Everything around me, I've built in the meantime,
Is a mirror of the love and care I've put in myself
All these years.
You'll see shades of blue and grey
All around me.
But the blue won't be a sea of sadness
Made of all my tears
I've been drowning in for some time,
After you've decided
You can't give me what I need
Saying: It's not you. It's me.
It will be a sea, powerful and unpredictable,
With a surface full of gentle sun rays during the day
And stars and the moon during the night.
And the grey won't be dark clouds on the sky,
But a beautiful and mystical fog
Above deep forest and in between trees
We see in those melancholic song and movies.
And when you decide to come back,
If ever,
I won't be chasing dragons, wild and untamed,
But caressing the ones who would give up everything
To be calmed by my touch.
