Remember the Lamppost



Remember the Lamppost

Silence fills the atmosphere 
Surrounding the lamppost bright
A single girl, standing alone
By the ring where blackness turns light
Rain begins drizzling lazily 
Her umbrella sounds a beat
Examining the world beyond her post
Longing for the sound of his feet
The flirtatious wind tousles her hair
To the post, she snuggles close
Hours have past and the more she stands
The more she loses hope
He said he'd come, but t'was a year ago
So maybe he'd found a girl
More elegant and lovely than she
And he realized that he preferred her
Maybe she was just silly and dumb
Standing like a fool in the rain
And just as she turned, she caught sight of his form
Running, shouting, "You came!"
