the clock ticks

the clock ticks, it's 8:30pm
where is he?
the clock ticks
tick tock tick tock
the clock ticks, it's 8:45pm
he forgot about me
the clock ticks
tick tock tick tock
the clock ticks, it's 9pm
he doesn't care about me.
the clock ticks
tick tock tick tock
the clock ticks, it's 9:15pm
he texts me
my heart skips
thud - thud
the clock stops ticking
my heart stops skipping
because he's here.
with me.
