waiting for you

i wait for you to arrive.
I've been
waiting for so long
in the rain and sun.
I've waited through the seasons
of my life.
my hair has thinned,
blown grey.
my shoulders sag
with the weight of waiting.
i look into the window
of each car,
each bus that passes by.
i look down both ends
of the darkening street
for you to arrive,
but you don't come. I've
waited so long for you.
I've prayed for you and
imagined who you might be,
but soon, i have to go.
