At the far edge of waiting

With all this helplessness within me...
I've breathed into no other's chest.
How can I leave
without your scent woven through my soul?

No one's words have ever hurt me so...
made my insides sob and break like this.
What use is it to ignore the stirrings of love?

No one has ever cared
for the weight of my sighs.
How will this waiting ever end?

For you, I gathered courage
and walked this far alone.
If you turn me away, how will I survive?
