I've forgotten what it was like - waiting.
And I remember the first night I realized I'd forgotten it
alone
dark
in a home-sized bed listening to a recording of a never-sent confession
equally late in the night
of loneliness and pangs of regret.
And I realized that
waiting isn't the important part
It's what you do when you finally have it.
So I say, friend,
take this time
to be ready to forget the important things.
