Chapter 543

Wait

Things happen in life very fast
Sometimes we sit and wait
We may not see it occur
When suddenly we are too late

One can be left looking
When the other leaves the gate
They may depart in a huff
Feeling dejected and irate

Maybe it was not noticed
As one dangled the bait
When the call goes unanswered
One's inner self begins to deflate

Love that is not returned
Withers and is soon innate
When another is involved
Love may even turn to hate

One can always refocus
They can clear the slate
Maybe confusion can be avoided
If our desires we clearly state

Nobody
