Expectations

a poem by Jayati

I, wait
Know not for what
Still, I wait
Maybe hoping for
A glimpse of you
Across the footpath.
Something says, it’s more than that
Same time I get scared to think beyond.
Rudely shattered
Dreams, sweet imaginings
One too precious.
Put me to sleep
Never to wake up.
I, sure
Am not upset and will
Still, wait…
