Vettriano, Jack, Yesterday's Dreams |
again and again
i am always on that
bedroom window waiting...
waiting
with no assurance.
if you are still coming back.
'til this morning
with a long sigh
i decided,
no more to this.
and with a little smile
i went back to bed.

if doubt is stronger
than your love for each other,
there is no reason
to keep it...
