Not so patiently waiting

As I sit here

waiting for you to arrive

I think about that day

constantly trying to imagine

Just what you might look like

wondering what color hair

you will have

thinking about what color

your eyes will be

Picturing the beautiful smile

I know you will have

I sit here and I wonder these things

Because I can't see you now

You are so close to me,

and I love you so much already,

yet I don't even know you

But still I await patiently

as if time can't go by fast enough

But the day that you do arrive

I won't mind if time

just abruptly stops

To give me time to take you in

To remember the color

of every strand of hair

on your perfect little head

So I can memorize the color

of your precious eyes

even when they're not open

And allowing me to enjoy ever inch

of that big sweet smile

And then after all that

time can start going again,

just not as fast as i wish it would now

And not as fast as I know it will

once I get to hold you.
