Patient

I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you to say
Something
Anything
Everything
I can't sleep
I can't eat
I just wait
For an answer
I watch the clock
Seconds turn into minutes
Minutes turn into hours
And then
I see you typing
I wait,
Excited
It stops
I watch,
Hoping
You start typing again
I stare,
Patiently.
And then after all this time
Patiently waiting
Endless hours
Silent staring
I read your message,
Tears forming
Hands shaking
Heart breaking.
