The Waiting Room...

Walk into this room, right now. 

Stop me from waiting all night, from being alone.

stay for longer, don't leave so quickly.

I love your company, like you being there next to me.

We work together, it works well for us.

She thinks you feel something for me, I long for that to be true.

It would complete me, you compliment me!

I am longing to be part of your life, wanting to be something more to you than the friend I am. 

To spend time with you, to snuggle up close with you.

I want to spend the evening with you, laying in those arms of yours forever.

I am ready, are you?

After I'd first read this, Nicky, I said to my laptop, "Oh, that's lovely." And it is. The feeling of yearning, affection and fear of loss that strains through each line can only be discovered upon the second reading. It is lovely. A couple of points, if I may. "Compliment" means "say nice things about"; "complement" (with the middle e instead of the i) means "add to make complete". Which do you mean? Secondly, I would take out the final line. For me, without it the onus is thrown even more on to the one you are addressing, leaving us with your warmth and his/her lack of response. The question at the end somehow, for me, trivialises the wonderment of before.

Thanks Mike.
I didn't know there was two "compliments" - thank you for that.
I mean the second. Shall edit that when next able.
And I agree with the last line, doesn't work as well does it?
Much appreciated x
