Waiting

A rolling wave crashing into the sand
like a heart beating against its cage
like a man fighting for his love
waiting for the moment when it can be freed
the moon bides its time
hiding in the background while the sun shines
hoping one day people will love his light
more than the brilliance of the sun
like a man waiting for the day
the love of his life will see him
to notice he is more than the funny guy
more than the good listener
waiting for her to turn her head
and see the sparkle in her eyes
telling him its time
time to finally be loved
to grant him the permission to
finally hold her in his arms
and cuddle her while she sleeps
to be the one she see first in the morning
and the last she sees every night
he waits for the moment when like the moon
he has the opportunity to shine
when like the waters
he can breach the beach
and his heart can stop fluttering in its cage
but soar through the skies
