Waiting

Ever since I can remember,

I noticed you.

Gray fur

Eyes like the blue jay.

All the moments we had.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

You left, but I still stayed,

Accepting my destiny as it is.

Even though it doesn't change anything;

You are the future,

I am stuck in the past.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

Seasons come

And seasons go.

My life is done,

It was a good life.

Never could ask for better.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

So, so long I wait,

Seeing my old home change.

Abandoned.

Cats come and go,

But still you're not there.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

Until a big group comes.

I search the faces,

So hopeful.

But no.

You're not there.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

I feel so good right now

You're finally here.

My heart skips a beat

As you make your first sounds,

Thrust out into this cold, cold world.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

Growing up,

You made me smile all the time.

As a kit,

Apprentice,

And medicine cat.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

I wait until you traveled

And found us at our camp.

You remember me!

Can you see me?

Do you know I'm here?

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

Always struggling with your

Inner demons.

The truth hurts like a knife,

But I stand beside you.

You were never really alone.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

The big battle draws near.

You come back.

I remember then.

You helped me on my path.

Even still, I wait.

So, I wait.

Wait

Wait

Wait.

Waiting for you.

You know I would always be by your side, right?

Even if you go to a different sky,

I'll find a way.

I have been waiting all this time;

Surely I can wait some more.

Hello. This was my first attempt at poetry, so I would love constructed criticism to help me write better. Sorry it was so long also, that wasn't planned.
