five minutes ago
i remembered the feeling of waiting
counting minutes into hours
and playing with hair in frus
tra
tion
promising myself
that this time
will be
the last time
and it never was
and it makes me nervous
lonely yet
ironically content
and worthwhile
waiting for you
was always
and now...


five minutes later
i remember that now it's your turn
to wait for me.

and i'm smiling.
