Three Magic Words Poem by Paul Sebastian
Three Magic Words
Knotted nerves wrecking
Waiting for phone to ring
That promised call
Not coming at all
Anxiety grew by minutes
Reasons piled to plug it
Excuses assumed, defended
Forgiveness spirit, tested
Waiting was so draining
Up and down steps pacing
Heartbeats racing
Knuckles cracking
Phone was still not ringing
Repeatedly, was self-asking
Why hasn't she called, oh why?
Youth-like impatience multiplied
Reasons unknown, futilely pried
Endlessly searched, the "whys"
The night tortoise-paced deep
Anxiety worn out he went to sleep
Few more hours, dawn breaking
He knew the truth was waiting!
As dawn broke, hyped-up, he called her
She answered, sounded a bit in a dither
Managed to explain her reason:
Father's in, it was inconvenient
Yet managed to gently whisper: I love you
Suddenly, strengthened, renewed
Joy-shaken, he confessed: I love you too.
Just three magic words
Made him reassured
