Hug

25 1 3
                                    

On the pavement. Waiting
I tap my feet, impatiently, erratically
Trying to find patience
Not wanting to panic in a hurry

I'm trying with unease to wait for you
because
For the longest time, we've been talking
And I think I care very deeply for you

Breathe. An intense technique
My mind has taught me, because I'm scared
About meeting you

Fear. Random thoughts
Do you think I have
Pretty hair? Do you think maybe
I have a harsh stare?

If I told you that I love you
Just a little
What level of sincerity would show
That you care?

Okay, wow you're actually here
In the breezy hot air
You look more petrified than me

You must be able to tell that
I need a hug
You seem to squeeze me in

And I swear
I can feel your ache, your pain
From the past.
You cried as if it was meant to be compulsory
When that girl walked out the door
How dare she put your heart last
