turtles live forever, they say.

i would have waited
until the earth crumbled into dust
i would have been there,
by your side,
until the sun exploded in a fiery ball.
i would've,
i could've,
i should've,

I DIDN'T.

i went away,
i saw the locked door,
and i decided to move away,
and i walked for ages,
always a step further away,
always more distance,

...

(the tiny gap turned into a chasm,
 the chasm into a ocean,
 the ocean into continents,
 and then)

i was at your door again.
but you have moved,
have
you
not?
