Waiting for the bus
by cricketjeff on November 27, 2009. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
There were little drops of love
on her fringe
as she sheltered from the rain
A bus-stop
miles from where I wanted to be
and where her faraway smile transported me
Her eyes were your eyes
bright in the darkness
searching for a promise
or
maybe
just the bus.
She smiled your smile at me
silently
but I heard your words
your poetry
your heartbeat
I sat beside you
watching you type
watching her waiting
watching the drips of love
fall one by one
until the bus came.
