The Regurgitation of Emotive Illustrations

"WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME."

coincidental or was it on purpose
the way he walked over the trench.

like a traveller carrying his burden
in his mind, he thinks of where he's heading.

way too focused on what's ahead
didn't he noticed the girl by his side?

quietly she walked with him
all she wanted was him to take a look.

look at me, she whispered in her heart.
but the weight only gets heavier.

his steps multiplied, leading into a chase.
she fell down. didn't have the strength to get up.

he never once turned back
in his eyes, there was only what's lying ahead.

she looked ahead to see what he's looking.
it was then she realised, it isn't her he's looking for.

she wished she was the one for him
the way that he was the only for her.

he was the sun that lights up her way.
the mountain that she could depend on.

she watched as he disappeared into the distant.
she felt tears rolling silently down her cheeks.

she realised
it wasn't him that left her.

it was her who couldn't catch up.
