Almost there

Almost there

I know you’re there

Maybe already in the room

Or maybe just about to arrive

Getting out of the car

Stepping into the hall

Taking of your coat

I feel the energy change

Like it always does

When you step into a space

Casually smiling as you enter

Lifting your left eyebrow so slightly

That no one else would notice

I hear your deep voice

The low tones vibrating in the air

Sending a shiver down my spine

Ordering your favourite drink

Laughing at the bartenders joke

Effortlessly at ease

I fight to urge to turn around

Instead I let the tension build

Trusting all that is to come
