Wait and Watch

Because I love to sit and wait
knowing you're coming to me
Knowing I'm your next big plan

I wait and watch
The people pass by
Flash by
Glance
Smile
Nod
Ignore
Why don't we question this silent understanding?
The agreement that we'll never see each other again
And we don't even care

All I hope is that these people
Are going to someone
Like you're coming to me

I really liked how you were able to make me question myself through your great writing. How people will go past us but we just have to wait for the right person to come

The one thing that hit me first, Kayla, is the mind's-eye, physical structure of this piece … quite a unique and original treat for the senses to enjoy. Thank you for that, Dear Poetess!

L3, make it "your" next plan.

Interestingly, I am a people watcher; this is the source for so many of my most imaginative poems, so you can imagine the excitement yours has aroused in me.
How vividly realistic your words truly are, Kayla … the visions (in the way you speak them) feel so intrinsically real that I feature myself there beside you, watching, waiting.

V2L9: Consider, "The unspoken agreement to never again see each other", in that it speaks with a stronger poetical voice, and that line weds the lines above and below it.

In the final verse, the caring tenderness of your heart speaks ever-so sweetly.
Kayla, I love it, and cannot thank you enough for blessing an olde poetry teacher with your lovely skills … warmest hugs 'n smiles to you! ⁓ Richard

Life teaches us. Appreciate the good days and forget the bad days. Hold tightly to the good days and good memories.
"All I hope is that these people
Are going to someone
Like you're coming to me"
Hellos are the sweetest days. Waiting is hard and goodbyes are harder. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

i really love this and it means a lot to me but sometimes its the people we think we will never see again that we hope to see again the most but then again its the people we have never met that we hope to see the most

You agree to never see them again, yet they are comng to you or are they not coming to you? I'm pleasantly confused. Nice poem.

I watch my watch as the weight of waiting slowly crushes me till there is no-one for anyone to see....

I can see you sitting in a park bench, watching people stroll by and offering up the same "hello stranger" smile and nod they offer you. Very intuitive visuals and human questions posed here. My only suggestion would be to change the final "going" to "coming" so that the final line echos back to the first stanza. It would sound not only more grammatically correct but have a greater weight on the reader's experience.

Thanks Briana! Changes have been made. I knew that didn't sound right. Cheers :)
