Anticipation

and there it is
this feeling
in your stomach
that makes you
tap your foot
look at the clock
pace
and pace some more
you know
you cannot change the outcome
but you always hope
for the best…
hoping
is all you can do.
you should not,
for fear you’d get crushed,
but it’s just
too tempting
and too hard
not to
for you see
the joy
it could bring
if your hope
was fulfilled.
