wishful thinking.

it took me this long
just to realize that i've been waiting
for that day to come,
that day you've referenced to
on more than one occasion.
it took me this long
just to realize that i've been gone,
waiting for that day to come:
but, love, will it ever?

i've come this far,
just to get shot down
by my own heart,
dear, i know
that wishful thinking has no home
under these conditions;
its a famine of dreams short-lived and
i've...taken so long just to realize
that i've been waiting all this time.
