Anticipation

Just waiting

Waiting 

for something to begin

On my toes with suspense

Needing to be reigned in

It's a joke with no punchline

A question with no answer

A country song with no lyrics

A pole with no dancer

Anticipation

Waiting for the train to leave the station

Anticipating

Baby just keep waiting 

It's the lip-biting, foot tapping, unbearable wait

You hope for something early and it shows up late

Keep dreaming about whatever you're anticipating

And ignore the fact when it comes that it's kept you waiting 

Something to be excited for 

But you're so focused on the window that you miss the door

Anticipation

The train left you at the station
