I Was So Excited

I spent my day waiting and waiting
until you'd come to talk to me and
tell me how your day was.

I waited for hours, just staring
ahead blankly for you to turn your
gaze to me.

Please acknowledge my presence and existence.

I spent so long waiting for you, so
many hours, were they all in vain?

I was so excited to see you again,
I smiled and I made sure to be extra
sweet and kind to you.

I wanted you to say how cute I was.

I'm cute, that's what you should tell
me when I am trying hard like this for
you and only you.

I was so excited, but then you looked
away after a curt hello.

I was so excited, but it was time for
you to go permanently, missing from
the world.

No one knew where he went, only I knew.

And now, every time I think of coming home
and looking for a few boxes in the deep freezer
in the basement...

I get so excited.
