All The Feels...

the echoes from her feet in the dark

i stay up

late

in the summer

heat

waiting

for my

baby

to come

home

i have for her

sweet tea

and ice cream

and those little

maraschino cherries

in a jar

she worked

the late shift

and won't be

home

until dawn

but i keep my eyes

on the street

and the stars

i know she's close

by the glint in her hair

and the echoes

from her feet

in the dark
