Waiting for you

Waiting for you
      through the coming and going
          of the sun and the seasons,
          of the moon and the monsoons,
I got scorched, I got drenched.

But only through transitions like these -
      between hope and helplessness,
      between longing and letting go
I realize that feelings of yours evaporated
     long before the last teardrops
           of mine.

Waiting for you
       the vast galaxy of time spins past me!
Waiting for you
      my soul, chained by destiny's gravity
           on a geostationary orbit,
  can neither come close nor break free.

Yet,
the chasm between us deep and wide,
the night we sleep through long and immense.
I burn like a wasp
       drawn towards the ominous pyre.
I smither like an unfortunate meteor
       entering the earth's atmosphere.
Just waiting for you!
