You drift in and out as you please

I can do nothing

Except to keep steadfast

Never wavering in sincere effort

To be your friend

Yet I cannot promise

To not wonder or worry

To fear not that one day

You will never return

The fear of another person

Who fades and departs

Remain in my heart

I can promise

That I will be here for you

Whenever the need or desire arises

Uncompromising in my love

That flows like a deep river

As fragrant as a flower in bloom

I will be here waiting

In anticipation
