I am waiting…
The monitors are changing their faces
Like the people passing me by.
Hand-bags, back-packs, suitcases, you name it
Are crowding the space even more.
Here I am… It’s my gate.
Now what?
Already saw the same chain of still looks twice.
I hurried to hide my anticipation
Under that unoccupied chair for me.
Following the motion of the waiting area
I mimicked the face of the man on my left.
Time stops.
The monitor froze- delayed!
Can’t sit anymore on the thought:
Do I really want to go?
Am I afraid if I can hold my eyes in yours for longer?
Every time I try to hide in them,
You see straight through me.
For your every question
My face lines up in perfect answer
And always gives me away.
May be I should stay?
The ticket that you sent me
Loses shape and ink,
Suffocated by the tide grip of my hands.
My face, confused on dilemma
Searches for the answer
Hanged on my feelings,
Tested by the hour.
Accumulated time
Brings people and carryon in to a fine line.
I closed my eyes to see you better.
“We’ll be alright, we’ll be together”
You look at me with calming smile
That caught my eyes with yours
Reassured, there I can stay… forever!
I give my ticket
And I go…
