brake pedals
he waited for this weekend
like he did no other
he will see his love;
they will be together
nine days of discovery,
bliss and contentment
he looks forward to each
and every moment
at six o’clock friday
her flight’s due to arrive
his heart’s racing
he’s worried he won’t survive
maybe he shouldn’t have
had coffee two hours ago
he reeks of excitement,
thrilled from head to toe
her flight’s in soon,
he’s still on pins and needles,
feels like a formula driver
without brake pedals
he goes through
a roller-coaster of emotions
his heart beats
like a storm in the ocean
he sits on a bench
next to the luggage carousel
anxiously, he waits,
gazing at the stairwell
where she’ll come from
in just a few minutes
then joy will arrive,
happiness without limits
