She waited for the day to dawn and the sun to set, for someone to explain things to her,
for the vacation to begin, for a fairy godmother to come, for the phone to ring, hundreds of
times.
She had waited for boys, for men, on station platforms, in airports, waiting rooms or vanished
footsteps, the train, bus, plane, taxi.
She waited for a turn to be assigned a role, a place to be given an order, a function,
a solution to be given a meaning.
She waited for springtime, summer, for the rain to stop, to cease.
She waited everywhere, for her time, the right time, the perfect time.
She waited for happiness.
She had forgotten everything, she'd forgotten the basics of the piano, her early childhood,
the games, the toys, the colours, the smells.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She had forgotten why.
She'd forgotten when she made the decision.
She merely waited for her time, and her time had come, the right time.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She merely waited for her time, and her time had come, the right time.
She'd forgotten when, where, how, the accusations, arguments, anguish, the tears.
She'd forgotten.
