A waiting friend...

As she walked through the crowd, my eyes followed her
My eyes failed to tear away from her

There were two people walking between me and her
I wanted to call out her name aloud,
but I felt shy to do that in the crowd.

I kept walking behind her, hoping to talk to her and get noticed by her
but she kept walking straight, in a slow and steady pace
She did not look to the left or to the right, just kept walking straight

My friend near me, could sense my anxiety and she quickened her pace
hoping that I would make it to my friend going in the front

But she kept walking straight and then up the stairs
And I lost sight of her

With a stab of disappointment, I walked back after swiping...
I had to take my shuttle to CDC 5...
I left with the contentment that I got to see you this morning
