The rain keeps falling As I’m sitting here Drip drying drinking Drip coffee dreaming Of what I’ll say When you sash shay In from the storm Shaking your umbrella The same way you shake Your hair not caring That you’ve gotten me wet Watching you move In that careless way Somewhere between arrogance And ambivalence And a lack of confidence Takes my voice As you order your drink Complicated like you Hot and sweet Worth waiting for As I wait unsure Of what I’m waiting for Before you tip Taking a sip Looking out the window At the storm still raging Eyes searching for a seat My heart willing Your eyes to see the seat Empty before me Where your eyes linger Before your mind changes In the space I should have filled With words that left me Quicker than you left me Deciding on the storm Over drinks shared At a table for two Left with one
