They Say to Wait

They say waiting is the hardest part. You sit patiently, not knowing exactly what’s going to happen. You sit. You wait. Wait. And wait...

You’ll be fine. They say, but they have no idea. Every second turns into a minute, and every minute feels like an hour. Perhaps the anticipation is the most painful. Perhaps you are just dying to know the answer. At the same time, you dare not to find out, and at the same time, you cannot wait to get the suffering over with.

You are cautious, at every move you make, and constantly have second thoughts. You have your phone by your side. You stare. You want to press those numbers, but they say, patience is virtue.
