She waits for him in silence

Going through the day as always

Hopeful for a just a moment with him

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

Her brown eyes reflect the uncertainty

Whether she should let him go or continue to hope

For the call her soul tells her will come

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

She works, she shops, she cooks, she cleans

Spends time in her favorite places

Calls her friends, never sharing her true dreams

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

Writing helps to ease the lonliness

Plans for an upcoming event take time

A new assignment fills up the lonely hours

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

She wonders at what point do you let go

When is enough - way too much

When will this doubt disappear

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

Crying, she contemplates, what's next

Not wanting to let go of their dreams and plans

She trusts her heart

She denies the thoughts in her mind

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

Her mind tells her - it's time to move on

But her heart says, if you care, how do you give up

Her soul whispers you should

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

She waits for him in silence

Not sharing her concerns

Going through the day as always

Efficient, outwardly content...and she waits.

He reaches for her from his keyboard

He feels he can almost see the doubt in her eyes

His blue eyes fill with worry

Efficient, outwardly content...and he waits.

He never dreamt he would find her

The love - the dreams - the plans

He dares not ask what she is thinking

Efficient, outwardly content...and he waits.

She types at the keyboard hiding her fears

He types at the keyboard trying to reassure her

They love - they dream - they plan

Efficient, outwardly content....and they wait.
