A Rock

She is shy
But she is optimistic
While she waits
She sings you songs
She is quiet
But she isn't missing
If you wait
She'll be along


She stopped at the river bank where you sit some times, and you weren't there. So she took out a piece of paper and her emergency pencil and jotted down a note for you. She folded it up and wrote your name on the front. She wandered around for a second, then she bent down to pick up a rock. She placed the note on the bench where you sit and put the rock on top of it, to make sure it wouldn't blow away. As she walked away she silently prayed that it wouldn't rain.
