Analysis of I still wait for thee



It's easy for you
To move on fast
And leave behind
The precious memories
That we both shared
But you never cared
You moved on thinking
I was a wrong choice
And hoping in mind
To find someone splendid
But I downhearted
Still wait for you
On the same brook
In starless somber nights
And in the moonlight
Besides bosky rose bush
To come with a leisure
Like gentle wind at night
And giddy with delight
To sit with me oh life!
And sing songs of love
And reminisce the fancy
Of our heavenly life
But oh notes of woe!
You are still alive
With heart full of joy
And eyes with delight
But people! Look at me
Like rotten leaf of autumn
And still attached to tree
Or like a motionless mass
Whose breath is your memory
I still wait for thee
