She waited.
Hoping for the moment
That singular time in space
When the one word she longed to hear
Would be spoken.
She listened.
Trying to will the moment.
That singular time in space
When the one word would bring
Assurance
She doubted.
Thinking, overthinking the moment
That singular time in space
When the one word never seemed
Forthcoming
She yielded.
Being in the moment
That singular time in space
When her heart received the one word
Required
She breathed.
Savoring the moment
That singular time in space
When she felt the one word spoken
Her Name.
She loves.
Bound by the moment.
That singular time in space
When she knew by the one word
She belonged.
