I walk alone, and yet I know there is that one for me.
When will she see, and come to me?

I walk in my solitude, that turns to missing she,
this one that still can't see.

I raise white flag high in air to signal from afar,
wishing on the first seen star.

I call out her name, waiting for answer to be heard,
going down for the count.

Holding hands and skipping stones, can not be done alone,
so I wait by phone.

Heart racing in anticipation of what may never be,
yet racing for safe shores.

Will such prize, I ever win, in this endless end,
as time, it ticks away, taking toll?
