still waiting
11:27 p.m.

Dear boy,

I read every letter here avidly, so excited at the possibility it may be from you. I get halfway down and realise its just another correspondence that doesn't concern me, and the disappointment kicks in again. I'm waiting, I suppose, for a confession that you love me - that you've loved me all along. I'm waiting to hear that you've given up on her and that I can give up on the latest in a line of ill-fated relationships. I'm waiting to here that you've come home to be with me, for good this time. I'm not holding my breath, but still, I'm reading every single letter. Just in case.

With love and patience,

girl
