still, find myself sitting at the table

looking occasionally at my watch

it seems at times i have been waiting

all of my adult life here

while you put the final touches

on what will be the eventual you

with whom i will be having dinner 

i know well this routine

as i once again look at my watch
i have spent many occasions
such as this waiting

here comes the i am ready

as you walk thru the door

my heart becomes seduced

my eyes are held captive

soon i will be sitting across a table
watching the soft light play upon your face
how you are the ambiance i most adore
no matter where we are 

never remembering a moment i spent waiting
