The Waiting Game

Three hours,
thirteen cigarettes,
and countless awkward glances
Which all seem to question my motive for sittin in the parkin lot
Leanin against the cracked yellow curb.
What? Dont act like youve never waited for somethin before
A man, in particular.
He shouldve been here by now;
Perhaps Ive missed him.
But just to be absolutely sure,
Ill give it another thirty minutes or so,
Helplessly resistin each second that passes
Without sight of him
(I have things to do today).
Its no use, he isnt comin.
But somehow, gettin up to walk away would be like
Severin my right leg.
He doesnt know Im waitin for him
Maybe thats why he isnt here yet.
Ill bet hes never
Stood a girl up in his whole life.
(He cant really stand me up
If he doesnt know Im here)
But I couldnt have told him I would be waitin for im
On account of I think hes in love with his girl
I dont know her, but I know I dont like her
I only wanted to see him,
Maybe wave, or smile and say hi
Nothin out of the ordinry.
But I cant wave or smile at someone
Who is almost positively not comin.
My nails are raw with teeth marks
My knuckles dont need to be cracked
For about twenty years after today
Ill probably have emphysema
Tomorrow, the way Im goin on.
My back will undoubtedly be
Sore from the leanin and waitin
Is it just me or is the sun settin?
I didnt realize I had been out here for so long
Or maybe I did, and just didnt want to believe it
Only fools wait this long for
Someone who should have
Been
here
hours
ago,
(If he was gonna show up at all)
But its a nice night, so I guess
Fifteen more minutes wouldnt kill me
