As I sat
just waiting,
I saw my
mother pacing.

As I sat
just waiting,
Cereal became
unappetizing.

As I walked
upstairs,
my hands began to shake,
my heart began to pace,
and tears were rolling down my face.

As I sat
just waiting,
starring
into the abyss.

As I sat
just waiting,
I wondered what I had missed.

And from then on
it was a blur,
and I always wondered
how you were.

And while I wondered,
I just sat there,
waiting.
