Waiting

Looking at the clock ticking away
Whiling away my time
Hoping for the door to open
or even the phone to ring
waiting and waiting for you to come
and carry me far far away

Like the parched soil awaiting rain
like a ray of sun after a dark night
I was waiting for that day to rise When I would be with you forever

I knew and believed that you would come
But why is waiting so tiresome
Doing all my chores, being at work
I still was waiting for you

The door bell rang, I ran to get the door
I knew it was you
my eyes twinkled, smile brightening my face
my wait was finally over, you were here!
