Airports

by Megan Aries - Not entered

As I sit across from you in this airport I think
about the man I knew this past week. Same black
spikey hair, same earrings and sideburns. You 
are beautiful, just as he is. I wonder if he will
forget my name as easily as you not knowing it.
should I chalk it up to experience, or should
I hold my sholders back and my head up and wait?

A week and a half have passed. I can't believe 
that I heard your voice whispering for me, begging
me to allow you to get in your car and drive 600
miles to see me and my life. I want to say yes, I
want to tell you to pack your things and stay with
me in my small apartment. I want to prepare amazing
meals for you, or pick up your favorite Irish whiskey
on my way home from work or school. You will be here
in a month. February 9th. I wonder if I can wait...
