waiting for .....

waiting for something
i have seen before

hoping for the familiar

shaking over something
i've always known

scared for the ever after

what makes one
tremble
for the to-morrow
they long for

what makes one
nervous
for the nights
they live for

what makes the waiting
so hard?

what's written
in the stars
are sketches
of what we are

and what we're meant
to be

if only the future
was easier to see

(know)
