I sit here waiting,

In a common place

At an unspecific time

Doing nothing much

But waiting,

Waiting for something unknown.

 

I sit here waiting,

Seeing common things

With ordinary features

Doing nothing much

But passing by,

Passing by just as time.

 

I sit here waiting,

Listening to common sounds

Emerging from ordinary things

Resounding in the air

And in me,

Resounding in me.

 

I sit here waiting,

Feeling simple feelings

Like a heart simply beating

Doing nothing much

But beating,

Beating for each passing second.

 

I sit here waiting,

In a common place

At an unspecific time

Seeing common things

With ordinary features

Listening to common sounds

Emerging from ordinary things

Feeling simple feelings

Like a heart simply beating

But my wait is over.

 

Here s/he comes,

Cool and calm

Kind and warm

Loyal and genuine

Full of grace,

Full of joy.

 

I sat here waiting

For my one and only to come

In this extraordinary place

At an extraordinary time

Seeing incredible things

With unordinary features

Listening to beautiful sounds

Emerging from magnanimous things

Feeling amazing feelings

Like a heart always beating

Beating for my one, my only,

And now I stand

And wait no more.
