I waited for him on the dusty floor boards. My legs pulled up so I could lay my head on them. I stared down the narrow hallway waiting to hear the knock on the window. ~Memory 1. 2011

Staring at the ceiling as I contemplated I waited. My arms crossed over my chest. My head propped on the pillow. I strained my eyes trying to create a picture on the ceiling hoping and waiting to hear a knock on the door. I waited hours just for her. And I even waited more.

  ~Memory 2. 2015

Back turned away from both the window and the door. Eyes closed not staring at the ceiling or down the hallway. Legs and arms limp and unmoving. No longer did I wait. How many more years before they showed up. Maybe the eternity of not expecting would hurt less than the eternity of waiting.

I glanced at the clock and it read 7:27. My legs and hands shaking faster and faster. Was this another mistake? A familiar rum of the car. A soft rhythmic knock at the door. I open and he's there with a gentle smile i'm surprised he came.

~Memory 4. 2022

Washing the dirty dished my mind racing with plans. How much will the dress and cake cost. I drie my hands looking at the ring on my finger waiting for the day to come.

~Memory 5. 2024

Sitting on my warm armchair covered in blankets. Reading The cat and the hat. I've waited 6 months and i have 3 more to go. My past is my past. My future is my future. And this was worth the wait.
