Raindrops

>shiver

i'm shivering
as i wait for you
the cold is unkind
to strangers like me
i look at my watch
to remind myself of the time
you were late
but i can wait
still the freezing breeze was
unforgiving
it bore right through me
as i waited for you
the passersby would sometimes
greet me and ask me why
i was standing here in the cold
i just replied with a smile
saying that i was just waiting for a friend
knowing that you'll come soon
right? of course you will
i was shivering again
but much more erratic
still i waited for you
i looked at my watch again
it was 9:00 PM
when you said that you would come at 2:00 PM
the night grew more dark
as the sun had set and the moon had risen
nonetheless i noticed that i was alone now
the friendly passersby who once greeted me
were probably fast asleep
still i waited for you
to come anytime now
•••
cold, it's so cold
it all feels the same
i'm shivering
but you never came
