You're worried he hasn't called though he didn't say he would. And wait for the phone to ring, knowing he'd call if he could. You peer out of the window once more for the hundredth time. And when there is still no sign, anxieties start to climb. You wonder why; he's so late, maybe it's a traffic jam. Or perhaps he's at some bar, and just doesn't give a damn! He'd better have an excuse or head home on the double. Yet you pray that he isn't in any sort of trouble. All is quickly forgotten as he pulls into the drive. And you greet him with a kiss, thankful he's home; and alive. (Quatrain) 9/25/2015

I have been this woman and it is true - whatever goes through your head while waiting evaporates when you him safe, sound and home. Beautiful job listing all the feelings so poetically - great flow and rhyme ... CayCay
