Will She Come? A poem by me.

I have never written a poem before and hated doing this type of thing in school but the other day I felt inspired to write one for some reason. 

I just started typing and let it flow - I had no idea where it was going when I started but just ran with it as it went along.  It is not about my personal experience or anyone I know.

I know it is very basic but it is a start and who knows I may well be inspired to write some more, which can only get better.

Will She Come?

I was waiting there for ever

Just hoping she would show

I guess I had my answer

But I really needed to know

She seemed a tad dubious

When we spoke on the phone

But I was hoping I had it wrong

As I didn’t want to be alone

It seemed we had the right connections

Both liking the same things

Now it seems I would never know

Just what our togetherness brings

I looked at my watch

Just one last time

If I could turn it back

Then it could be fine

No it’s way too late now

Time to give up and go

There’s no way now

That she’s going to show

I turn away to go home

My head bent in sorrow

Perhaps I’ll go to the pub

And save the tears for tomorrow

I hear my name called

Think - I’m hearing things now

I turn just to see

And there she is – wow!

She runs through the crowd

Said she’s so sorry she was late

She thought I’d be gone

Couldn’t believe I would wait

She told me she’d left early

In plenty of time for our date

But there was a hold up on the tube

Which had made her so late

To cut a long story short

And we laugh about it still

How our first real date

Nearly went down the hill

We have been together now

For thirty four happy years

At first I was so nervous

But she quelled all those fears

We fit like a glove

Our feelings were right

We are perfect together

Ever since that first night
