The Steps

 

I'm watering my garden

I hear steps and a knock at the door

A delivery?

I turn the corner to answer the door

I see

You

Standing there, my heart personified

You are best thing I'll ever see in this life

We both smile

I run up to you and you grab me

And hold me tight

Telling me you want me

You never want to let me go

I can't hold back the tears

I have dreamt of this moment

So many times I waited for your steps

Your embrace is the breeze

Your image a ghost on my steps

You didn't come for me

I wash off the empty steps

I'll keep them clean

Just in case
