Wait Poem by Cyresse Fox

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'
