wait

I’m waiting for you, somewhere at a station

Staring at the clocks, anxious for you to come

And all those trains, every single one of them a bigger insult

I’m still waiting for you

I imagine your face, your smile

Your bright eyes, your soft cheeks

I yearn for your touch; cannot wait to see you

But you’re not here

No message, no call

No one to answer my cry

And my heart breaks and shatters into a thousand pieces

Because you left me standing here, alone

I turn and with hanging shoulders walk away

Step by step, tears blinding my sight

Agonizing pain washes through me

Why did you leave me here?

But then I hear the sound

The sound of your voice calling for me

My lips curl up, I straighten my shoulders

And turn around, there you are

Running through the crowd, bag in your hand

You speed towards me while I stare at you in shock

I move forward, spread my arms to embrace you

We collide; you’re in my arms, at last

The dark clouds fade away, making place for the sun

The birds come alive and start singing

My heart beats like the fastest drum

And cry a million tears, you’re here.

‘I love you,’ you say while you kiss me

Those three words, and you make my day

With a smile in my voice I whisper in your ear

‘I love you, too’
