I Wait
Neon lights flicker in the back alley
two, gin induced, jovial souls
stagger and sing
along with the band
playing inside the Blue Bird Café
Outside leaning on the painted brick wall
I wait
my heart beats fast, my palms sweat too
and I wait
wait for her and her almond eyes
her diamond smile
I wait for her presence
for her company, to fill my lonely nights
to ease my lonely mind
to erase memories of loves lost
to dance in my arms
to comfort me
to be one with me
I wait and I hope
hope she is the one
A misty rain begins to fall and then I see her
sashaying my way
bright yellow dress
black stiletto pumps
a gleam in her eye
lighting up my night
I take her arm
my heart skips a beat
we head inside and I smile
hoping and praying
I'll wait no more
