<p>I'm here extremely concerned<br>Overthinking roughly of what you are enduring,<br>I wonder if I will ever have an opportunity to feel your deepest suffering,<br>Because that is my longing to share your pains...<br>But it seems like my yearning will never be accomplished.</p>

<p>I am here folding my pointers,<br>Staring above the skies expecting to find answers to my million darkest questions…<br>But all I observe is a beautiful blue sky, with all sort of cumulonimbus and nimbustratus cloud moving as I peek at them.<br>And I wonder if is that you behind them,<br>I wish you will come down to hold me tight as it rains.</p>

<p>I am here tallying every wink,<br>With a cellphone on my hand, lingering for you to text me and notify me that soon you will be here with me…<br>I hear a pitch in my ears of a phone and I imagine talking to you with so much excitement.</p>

<p>I am bordering people about your where about,<br>Because I have no idea where you disappeared to<br>But I just hope you will quickly return<br>Though I don't know when,<br>But I am quite sure you will…<br>For I know you will never vacate without announcing farewell.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I am here wondering if you ever think of me wherever you are.<br>And I hope you will check on me if you really do,<br>Because what I think we have is beyond estimate.</p>

<p>I am here, going crazy every day, because I can't get hold of you…<br>Not only that, but I am losing focus to everything I pinch,<br>because all I think of is you.<br>Likewise, I wonder if you are safe!<br>Furthermore, I am bleeding from the inside because days are getting more and more without your return.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I know you hurt,<br>But how are you going to survive without someone like me next to you as your shoulders to cry on…<br>I know you are struggling...<br>But how are you going to conquer if the most things you need to be strong,<br>you have left it behind,<br>I hope you will realize you are safe here with me..<br>And return back in my wings.</p>
