listening to one of her least favorite songs
from the current mainstream on the radio
waiting for her song to play
she looks up in admiration
at a picture of her famous dream boy
her bags are packed
she doesn't have a suitcase
so she deals with four separate backpacks
full of her life
he'll come for her,
she knows this...
from studying his face
eyes staring into hers
seeing more than she does
there'll be a night,
she tells herself,
that he'll tell me all about what he sees
and she'll finally understand herself.
