sometimes

sometimes you only get a stare
when what you hope for is a smile

sometimes you do get a smile
when you're waiting for an answer to a question

sometimes you get a shrug or a nod as an answer
when all you want is to hear him speak

sometimes you get to hear his voice
but what you're wishing is to reach out and hold him

sometimes all you're afforded is a handshake
when you're dying to love him

and sometimes these sometimes
are almost always most of the time
