Unlisted, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
I have waited
By that rotary
Sitting in the kitchen
Bay window, visible
Parking lot empty
I have waited
For that ring
That would
Make my heart sing
I have waited
As two hands
Slowly inched
Passing, immutable
In their refusal
To stop
It is folly
To wait
For those
Who don’t
Return a rose.
(end)
Don’t wait by the phone after a date or the famous “I need my space” line. If they want you they will call, if they want to come back they will. If they don’t move on.

In my youth been through the rejections, waited by the phone, and the truth is it is better to occupy yourself with other things than to wait. Those who want to be with you will call back. If they do not, then move on because they are showing they are not interested. I wrote my poem because I can identify with yours and I have been there.

I’ve had to learn that over time. Those who want you in their life will make an effort. Those who don’t, their actions will give you the answers. Thank you for understanding.
