The Baltimore Sun
I pick the foam of the
old, blue seats and watch
the rain hit the window,
running down slowly. The street lights
being to flicker as the
sky turns to dusk, and the plane
drifts to the ground.
I feel myself sinking down low
to the edge of the seat.
I look around at all of the
people waiting to be picked up.
He'll be here soon, and I'm
more excited than ever. I flip through my People magazine.
I can't wait any longer. I try not to
shut my eyes but I can't
help myself.
I wake up to the sound of a woman
over the loud speaker, announcing
what planes were beginning
to board. I look to my left
and I see him walking towards me.
I jump up, nearly knocking over
my cup of water. That blue, dirty
jacket looks better on him than it
ever has before and the smell
of his cologne fills my nose.
