PATIENTLY

Written by The Reclining Gentlemen and Hastywords I stand patient in the corner Waiting for you to notice The smile I have warmed up In hopes it meets your eyes   I watch you circulate, converse, amuse, Elicit laughs and friendly touches Others see your open, entertaining self But my eyes see beyond, below  …
