You always do this

Waiting on a call that never comes

Expecting texts that evade your cell

Looking forward to dinner dates that remain uneaten

Dating people that leave you misty eyed

And move like smoke ever rising

Because you never see them coming

Yet their allure sits in the air

If you don’t turn into a raging fire

You were never there

An orange glow permeates from behind a concrete countenance

Intriguing a restless heart long enough

To keep you hanging on

Love always, Esha <3
