A Woman’s Dilemma

I was feeling so giddy after you left on Tuesday

I felt so connected to you

I knew it was silly, but I thought you might be “the one”

I felt my heart break open, the hard shell of it breaking into a million little pieces, falling all around me

It was the story of your Nana that broke me open and brought tears to my eyes

I was moved and felt bonded to you

Then three days went by and even though I knew I would see you this weekend

I started feeling like my heart was beating outside of my body, 

Completely unguarded

I felt breathless 

Tonight, as you left, there was no word of when I would see you again

You just walked out the door and said goodnight nothing more.

Maybe I imagined the whole thing.

So, I wait in a biting nails nervous anxiety for you to call

A woman’s dilemma

Women have been having this type of experience since the beginning of time

How have they managed it?

It is by being together as women that we can bear the waiting

We know we can’t call them. The womenfolk talk sense into us and even take our phones if they have to

They know we wait

This is what we do

We just wait

Together
