Waiting

Have you ever waited for a Phone call?

Hoping that someone you gave your number to would call?

Hoping that that business deal clicks?

Hoping the driver calls you to let you know he’s around?

Or simply wanting your phone to ring because its been a while since it rang?

Or even waiting for your loved one to call you to tell you you’re loved?

Tell you that the fight is over?

Tell you (s)he’s completely through with that other person?

Hoping the doctor calls to tell you that person is okay..?

That you're okay?

Have you?

I have.

What’s the immediate reaction when you discover the phone is ringing?

What’s your reaction when caller id tells you its not what you’ve been waiting for?

Disappointment... is that it?

Everyone handles disappointment differently,

How do you handle it?

And when the call comes through?

You’ve used up the enthusiasm on the wrong caller,

In an attempt to sound not-so-anxious.

When that phone call eventually comes through,

You sound all wrong, depending on how that last call went.

Then you wish that you weren’t so eager to hear from that person.
