Longing

Presently, I await
a knock upon my door,
a rapping on my window,
a smile,
and nothing more.

I prepared 
for years,
and learned how to relate,
but as I found my voice,
you just walked away.

Was it something that I said,
or simply who I am?
Whatever the reason,
I won’t feel
like this again.
