An eternal wait ....

Waiting nowadays has become a norm, something I expect, although not long for, day after day. Painful, but a necessary part of my daily existence. darkness surrounds and a chill passes through my spine as if to punish me for an unpardonable crime. I cringe, suffer in silence ... and .... wait. Have I mastered the art by now? I surprise myself. I have done this yesterday, am doing it today and in all probability will not miss it tomorrow.
Yes, wait I will, for I know this is not forever. Oh pray, when am I going to see you? I stretch my neck out and strain my eyes to as far as I can see. No, theres no sign of you anywhere. But you will be here - I know. You wont let me down - something inside makes me believe so. Yes, I trust you and this will push me to wait longer.
Moments of yester days flash past when not so long ago things were different. There was warmth and happiness everywhere. Why do things change? Why cant happiness prevail forever? I dont know and I feel completely drained and empty from within to think any further.
And thanfully I dont have to, atleast not for this day. I see that my wait has come to an end. I see you. Yes its you. I hope its you. My hopes rise as you approach nearer. I already feel elated. I cant wait longer to be with you. Please do tell me its you - and only you. Alright, now I can see clearly. It is infact you. 168T, my bus to New York. Am I glad!!. More than anyone could imagine. Now I can have a cozy sleep till I get to my destination which is another long wait by itself. But its not a painful one outside in the cold. I can take this. Thank you God. Another winter morning wait comes to an end. But only till the next day. and the saga continues...... when will I see the warm sun again!! sigh
