Anticipation

You trekked past the greenery
and pursued the darkness
hiding behind the trees.

I could not dare follow you
for I was too afraid.
I knew that I adore you.

But of how much?
I do not know.
Did I really love you?

What was my perception?
My thought about love?
Do I really know how to?

All these came out,
as I stood by
waiting for you to come back.
