Waiting On the Thunder

~
I was jarred awake by a storm 
last evening while dreaming of us,
we were together and we were happy
A bright flash of lightening ignited the 
evening sky flooding my room with light,
allowing me once again to see 
that I was actually alone
Stunned and saddened, I sat there in silence
waiting on the thunder...

it never came
