So much, so long.

This was written a few days ago when I was waiting for some relatives to arrive, very eagerly, and was the informed that they weren’t coming….after having prepared so much for their arrival.

They told me they were coming,
I got excited, became happy.

I turned on the stoves.
And put out the good plates.

Then waited and waited,
And waited and waited…

I turned off the stoves,
And set in the plates.

But hope lingered, and
I kept waiting…

They did show up,
But it was too late,
And i had slept.

So they went back,
To come back again…

After making me wait,
So much, so long…

oh...that is really great. i like the way it was written. it is really depressing when we wait something or someone for long time but they dont.
