In the Lounge

  There he was waiting for her, at the airport,with his bag on his shoulder, in a leather jacket, jeans and boots. He took his phone out messaged her, ‘Just landed, waiting outside the airport’ He looked around just to see if she was around, in the arrival bay. He didn’t see her. He kept on checking his phone, no replies to the text. He decided to call her, it rang and rang and rang! No response, But he was still happy because they were supposed to meet, a long awaited meet, after month of planning. He decided to go to the coffee shop, and wait for her  ‘Maybe she is stuck in traffic’ He went up to the counter, ordered a black coffee, Sat there, Waiting for her. It was an hour, and she didn’t respond. No calls or texts. A seed of doubt filled his heart, Still he held his head up high. As the wait started making him anxious, He just asked himself, ‘WHY?’ He took his bag and walked out of the airport.

The high of missing.

  Here I am ,   Sitting in the train, infront of all the strangers, Each one different than another, But they are here, and not you! I know more about them, then I do about you. You aren’t on my mind, I am not thinking of you. I haven’t thought about you for days . Since we last spoke , I deserve that respect,  But here I am missing something I never had, never experienced. I don’t want you, don’t text me, Don’t tell me you miss my words for you, The poems I wrote when we were alone, The music I composed when you would stall, The feelings I expressed when we fell, I don’t want any of it back, I like the high of missing, Missing something I never had. Don’t you dare, come infront of me,  I am not hurting, I am not waiting, you will be kicked out, You are already out , The 3 strikes are you, But I like the high of missing, Missing something I never had. -AXM
