Sitting here waiting
buzzzz
You text me, “Be right down”
“Be right down” turns into
Searching for a song on the radio
-night radio
….waiting
buzzzz
You text me, “Sorry had to do laundry. On my way.”
On the lookout…
waiting.
For you.
For future.
For love.
For happiness.
Still waiting.

TAP TAP- on my car window
No longer waiting.
Waving, smiling
greeting
The nights air is cold
We park and go up
To your room
You show me things I’ve never seen
views
stars
photos
creating memories
Told me what I want to hear.
Wrapping me around your
Perfectly primed finger.

The sun rises.
The light illuminates truths.
I’m blinded by its glorious rays.
Off I go, intoxicated by
“foolish emotions”
Then, shortly, I’m left again
Waiting
For a message
A response
An answer
Left second guessing myself
Devastated
Insecure
Still waiting for a
Reason why.

I just wrote this when I got out of a bad "relationship". And this helped me get over it.
