Wait

By Ryan Gomez

Green turns to Auburn, the cold settles in
Greyness blankets the city and color fades away
When will you back again
Longing for your warmth
I settle in to bed and pull my dreams close
Dreaming of your return, hope hastens
Impatience overcomes and my thoughts turn to black
Uncertainty grows, my confidence withers
Hope in its haste has faded away
Reality has taken its place
Memories sinking to the bottom of my heart
Flowers wither and fade away
When will you be back again
I do not know
Perhaps I should go
