BFF

1...2...3...4...
you began to count.
I roved with my eyes,
saw it, and ran.

11...12...13...14...
I collapsed myself
into the dark crevasse,
giggling, waiting.

19...20...21...22...
the anticipation built.
I knew you'd find me;
you always did.

38...39...40...41...
How long would it take?
It was a good spot,
but you knew, you must have known.

47...48...49...50...
Breathless silence, I sat still,
heard receding footsteps.
But you never came.
