I sit outside, the leaves spread across the asphalt ground.
Smoke weaves over my head and I make not a sound.
Soaking myself in time's embrace,
waiting to see your sweet and loving face.
So many nights I've sat here,
time fleeting in the cold atmosphere.
I'm waiting here for your car to pull up in the driveway,
I'm waiting here to say those words to you, that I hardly ever say.
Ashes fall to the earth like snow,
just as my tears do when you must go.
But tonight let's be you and me,
lay under the stars and make a memory.
May not be romantic or like in the films I've seen,
but your fingers fit in mine, so perfectly inbetween.
So as I sit, and wait for you, love,
Remember that I'll always be here, looking above...

No. I actually wrote this for a contest, and the theme was romance so I figured, "Hey."
You don't have to hurry for me, love.

Waiting's a bitch, but you make it sound so easy! Damn you

Miss you! Great write!

Well I hope that your wait was not that long. Wonderful take on the romance.
Best of luck to you with it.
