Welcome to my Mind

Waiting To Change

She felt a pang in her chest as he looked at her
She felt that pang move down to her stomach when she saw his eyes brim with tears
She felt that pang continue down to her knees when he turned to walk away, his swift movements causing his gown to flow behind him
And that pang consumed all of her as she watched his back drift further and further into the crowd of proud families and excited graduates
She knew it was all over
And she's waiting, now, for the emotions to escape and leave her at peace
She's waiting to change
