“Wait for me.” she said.
But I ran across the street without a care in the world.
Her laughter followed me, silver bells rolling down the hill.
Silver bells on my heels…and still, I wouldn’t turn around.

“Wait for me.” she said.
But I kept running, chasing after my next rainbow.
True to our life’s design, she chased after me.
I should have waited for her.

A speed bump is hiding a blood stain.
As if that could make me feel better.
Standing still on the same spot, I wait for silver bells to catch up with me.
After all this time…still waiting.
