Be patient I tell myself
You ebb and flow
like the ocean
I see myself in you
Yet different somehow
It seems like so long
You’ve been away
How you’ve changed
But still remained the same
I look in the deep blue ocean
For reflections of you
But only see myself
Waiting and watching
Looking for you
I see me and wait for a time
To see you back again
