Analysis of When
When your mind has turned to the silence
When your tears burn from the crying
When you feel so brokenhearted
When your world has just departed
I will be right here, waiting.

About this poem
They say if you love someone, sometimes, you have to let them go... but letting go doesn't always mean letting go of your feelings for them, but respecting them enough to no longer act on them.
