I wait Always

I wait       always

I wait         and watch

I wait             I forget to breathe

I wait                 I realize my breath

I wait                     I sigh

I wait                        fidgeting

I wait                            and time slows down

I wait                                noticing certain moments

I wait                                                and I feel the itch of anticipation

I wait                                                                                                            seeing time become abstract

I wait           in another universe?

I wait                                                                                            to embrace something that may never come

I wait

I  wait

I wait
