Alone and Waiting

Alone and Waiting

Alone and Waiting

 on a cold, dark, rainy day

Raindrops hit my roof,

and it sent subtle sounds to my ears.

Alone, I lay lazily on my foamed airbed,

thinking of the earlier phone call.

My heart was set ablaze,

before my hands had the courage to dial.

Then, as I spoke, the excitement

in my voice betrayed me of what I truly felt.

I patiently waited,

thinking of nothing, but you.

I knew you'd come.

You'd come a midst the heavy rain.

The doorbell revealed your presence.

My heart skipped with joy.

My stomach rumbled.

My mouth began to salivate.

As I gave you the exact change,

you showed me your perfect smile,

"Five Cheese Pizza Delivery".

And there was a sun on my rainy day.

Thank you, Mister Delivery Boy for battling the rain.

Notes:

The title would have been Alone, Hungry and Waiting, but that would give everything away. Lol. Hope you enjoyed this. :)
