Expectancy peaks
as the agreed hour
approaches and ticks over.
I wait....wait....wait,
trying not to look
at my timepiece
every thirty seconds.
Each elastic minute
causes increased anxiety,
eyes searching horizons
for your familiar figure.
Slowly minutes crawl painfully
toward final acceptance
as you fail
to keep another appointment,
forcing me reluctantly
to realise that
you have disappointed me
yet again, yet again.
