Why Wait? (Friday Flash Fiction)
She always kept him waiting
waiting at the door, by the phone.
“patience must be his virtue”
his friends would mumble.
She was clueless when it came to time and schedules.
Then he saw her – his heart flipflopped as their eyes met
he was reminded why he waited
that sparkle - spoke of love and “us”

Join us for another round of Flash Fiction hosted by “he most gracious host from coast to coast” – G-Man
Reminds me of why people fall in love. And why emotions are always stronger than thoughts. I was there not too long ago, although it wasn’t time that was the issue, but other things. Still, love overrode the little flaws.

Like this piece a lot! Patience and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder. Good work, Moondust.

patience is a must isnt it???
October 14, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Oh…my…I am not the most patient person so this poem is a reminder of what I should consider from time to time…oh well…another life lesson in the lines of your poem.

charles not patient??? LOL

Argh… have to confess that if someone perpetually kept me waiting I’d probably have to grit my teeth to find a sparkle anywhere. Good for this guy, though. Some of the best things in life require exquisite patience.

I have to admit I get caught up in so many distractions that I forget what I was supposed to do. Had I been Cinderella I would have missed the ball!!!

Amazing how love overlooks every other flaw…how long do you think it lasts? LOL…good one my friend xxx
October 14, 2010 at 8:55 pm
I understand. My husband kept me waiting 45 minutes for our first date. I was ready to leave. Now, 26 years later, I’m glad I waited.
October 14, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I’m trying to be more patient but it’s taking too long
Lovely 55 Moon.
October 14, 2010 at 9:38 pm
If it’s love, it’s worth waiting for. Nice one.
October 15, 2010 at 12:47 am
That’s sweet….but patience is NOT my virtue…I think one who made me wait would be seeing stars. LOL
My 55 is a double whammy this week, two for the price of one. Of course, as always, you need to scroll down below my Friday’s Show n Tell.
The link is HERE I’d love to have you stop by for a visit.

Where there is love, who cares for the flaws? Good one!

ah – it’s good for the woman if it turns out like that …and hope his heart continues to flipflop (love that…)
October 15, 2010 at 5:38 am
Sounds like a good match – people should balance-out each other like that. Nice 55!
October 15, 2010 at 7:16 am
After 13 (almost 14) years of being with the most beautiful woman in the world, my heart still flip-flops when I see her (even if I have to wait “patiently” for her)….
Wonderful 55 Leslie….
October 15, 2010 at 2:04 pm
ah love is in the air, superb xx
October 15, 2010 at 3:40 pm
So very sweet! Reminds me of the song “Waiting on a Woman”. Certainly, I think we are worth it!

With Don(my husband) i unlearned the skill to let a lover wait, he just wouldn’t be there anymore, he’d be sleeping or be gone without me. Then my first lover suddenly broke up for seemingly other reasons, but after i let him wait one night for an hour (unintendedly) Now
October 15, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Ahhh! I love this!
True love will always wait, if somewhat impatiently sometimes
October 16, 2010 at 2:47 am
You captured that anticipation, fed by love, and ignited by contact! mine is up HERE
October 16, 2010 at 10:50 am
I hope she doesn’t keep him waiting too long…every one has their patience limits.
