Long Time

He Walked down the path in his blue robe.
A big smile on his face.
'The music every young adult wants to hear.
I watched him walk, he looked so happy and proud.
I was proud for him too.
Unfortunately he was leaving and I was staying put.
I don't want him to leave, I don't want us to grow apart.
He's everything I've ever wanted and more.
Today is the last day I would get to spend time with him.
Lots of people don't think we will stay together.
But I want to prove them wrong.
If they could feel how I feel when I"m with him
and how he's the only person who's ever made me feel
this way.
If they could just look past the age difference and look at us.
They'd understand....
But I know that won't happen.
That won't happen for a long time....

Wait

I watched the clock as it ticked by
slowly, painfully.
Fear and anxiety building up in my chest.
Did something happen?
Is he okay?
So many things run through my mind.
What if he passed out, like he did last time?
All I can see is him falling to the ground.....
lying on the floor, hopeless, and no one to care for him.
My eyes bulge, my heart accelerates.
I hope that I am not right.
But something in my gut is telling me
I am right.
Something scary and terrible takes over my mind.
What if? What if? Is all I can think of
But all I can do is wait.....
Wait for that one, hopeful, reassuring call.....
