No, no! She said;
I neither seek nor search
but simply wait.
Friends new, friends old,
gathering memories against a time of need.
A few come and hold out hands of friendship gladly taken
and I will walk a little way with them,
but still I wait.

Until in the chaos of daily banter
I feel his eyes upon me,
and pausing, turn to search the crowd
before returning to laughter and the company of friends.

But come the day I will look up and see
the one who stands and watches me.
He will call my name;
The answer leap to my lips unbid
and I will wait no more.

For he will have come to claim his own.
The one I waited for.
