Waiting

Why the wait
The suspense is killing me
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Waiting
Hoping
Wishing
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Walking around
Nerves kicking in
Why does it take so long?
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
It takes so long
Will it ever come?
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
The timer counts down
Ten…
Then a pause
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Then it comes:
Five…
Four…
Three…
Two…
One…
GO!
I’m off on my way
After the wait
The most exciting part of my day
My summer
My life
