Waiting
Always waiting for you
Me always early
You always late
Pretending it wasn't so.
So why rush now
To this unspecified destination
Beating me to the finish line
While I wait for you to stop the race.
Waiting again
Will I always
Think of you
As time passes without you.
You will never show up
Never arrive as I always feared
Dreading the call
That never came.
That never came.
Always said I'd leave
And I did
But never far enough away.
You beat me at last.
Now it is your turn to wait
Hope you are better at it than I
Because I don't plan to rush.
