The eager anticipation
Of her
Arrival
Has me fumbling
Every
Single
Word I prepare.

As she crosses
through
metal
Doors, one by one,
of airplane,
of airport,
Anticipation exclaimed.

I have lost all the words I prepared.
I don’t care about any of them anymore.
She means so much to me, I honor
Myself to think I do to her. As she
Grasping me with her loving hug, I
Finally see the value of patience.
