I wait to see you with bated breath

And a head full of dreams

Dancing amongst the clouds

As I go about my day’s work

A sudden heart wrench (a happy one albeit)

Stops me in mid motion

You the eternal, elusive desire

Lies seemingly within my reach

But you never come

Not really

Ever

And I return to my

Not so dull existence

A little heart broken

A little wiser

And a little

Richer
