Waiting (An Original Poem)

Believe it or not, I wrote this poem after we sang in a karaoke booth.
Such inspiration from karaoke! XD

Well, without further ado, here is my poem:

---

Your voice echoes in my mind
and I hear longing and melancholy behind
the song you sing is reaching out, calling, wanting...
and I know you're not over her and that you're still waiting.

So now what am I supposed to do?
I don't even know how I really feel for you.
But I sense sadness in my heart
And I know that in this you have played a part.

Of what reason is this sadness, I do not know
Was it the way you sang that brings this sorrow?
But I also wonder if I'm not just overthinking.
If there was no deeper meaning to the songs you were singing.

And if I am really just thinking too much,
is there a way for me to confirm such?
Because I don't think it would affect me this way
But I hope to know more of your story someday.

And if it's true, if you really are still in pain,
why don't you give me a chance to make that feeling wane?
Because I know I wouldn't make you feel that way,
and I wouldn't leave if only you'd ask me to stay.

Your heart would be safe with me,
why don't you give it a try and see?
Though I won't force you to do something you don't want to do,
But know that while you wait for her, I am here, just waiting too.
