Waiting

The door shuts I do not want it too

I wait a second then move forward in front of the car

I wait and watch as the car backs up changes direction and finally starts to pull away.

I wait as the back lights of the car slowly pull up the drive dirt to pavement.

The car is gone now but still I wait tense, listening to the cars engine as it gets quieter

This wait it over now comes the next wait to hear back know she is safe

The last wait is the worse lasting anywhere between 10 hours to many days

This wait is the worst to be sure but it all is worth it at the end when I see her eyes again.
