When I knew the answers
Was when I desperately searched for a second opinion
When I had an opinion
Was when I asked everyone else for permission to validate it
When I got validation
Was when I felt myself still wanting
Wanting to stop wanting.
Because the only Yes that mattered
Was mine
Even when I didn’t know it.
But the only Yes I didn’t trust
Was mine
Even though I didn’t believe it.
I’m sorry, my love.
I’ve always heard you but couldn’t listen
But you didn’t stop talking
Even when I doubted you.
Especially when I doubted you
You didn’t stop talking.
Since then, walls grew between us
Your words are muffled
But you never stopped talking.
Thank you for waiting for me.
What would you like to say?
What would you like to say?
I can’t understand through these walls.
But I would like to try.
You’ve waited so long
I can wait a while longer.
Our answers
Are worth waiting for
